Great Britain's women's team will kick it all off with a match against New Zealand. The men's team will play against Uraguay, Senegal and United Arab Emirates. Uraguay are currently 3rd in the world's rankings so that will be the hardest match for them.

They've been drawn to face each other in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on 25 July, two days before the opening ceremony. The GB women also face Brazil and Cameroon in Group E.The men's first game is against Senegal at Old Trafford, Manchester, on 26 July.
