Tough group for Flying Eagles

In Argentina, they would have to put their best performance in an attempt to qualify from a group that comprises of five-time champions Brazil, 2017 bronze-medalists Italy, and debutants Dominican Republic.
The knockout phases would be made up of the top two teams of each group and the four best third-placed teams.
