Italy will also play against the Netherlands and Belgium in Group A.
The United States — which has won the competition a record 32 times — starts its campaign also on Sept. 11, against Chile in Zhuhai, China, before then going on to play Slovakia and Germany.
Australia, which has finished runner-up in the past two years, plays France in Valencia on Sept. 10. The Czech Republic and Spain are also in Group B.
