Playing at the Curl Aberdeen facility, the country is represented by a completely changed lineup in the form of Amy Mitchell, Kaleb Johnston, Kirsty Gallacher, and skip Jack Strawhorn.

They are one of 34 teams playing in the purpose-built, six-sheet venue for what is due to be the seventh edition of the Championship.

Scotland will meet British Isles rivals England, Ireland, and Wales in Group A in addition to Belgium, Israel, Japan, The Netherlands, and Sweden.

The hosts lost 7-4 to Canada in last year's final, with the winners seeking a fourth straight gold in in this year's event which is scheduled to begin tomorrow and conclude on October 21.

Sweden's female players, Jennie Waahlin and Fanny Sjöberg are world junior champions from 2017, while Waahlin is also Olympic champion as the alternate player of the Swedish women's team in 2018.

Canada headline Group B which also features Australia, Chinese Taipei, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, New Zealand, Poland, and Slovenia.

Austria, Brazil, Estonia, Germany, India, Italy, Spain and the United States then comprise Group C. 

The Spanish team is skipped by Sergio Vez for the sixth time in the competition.

This same lineup won a world mixed silver medal in 2018 after Vez earned a world mixed doubles bronze in 2014.

Norway are in Group D and are one of the favourites for the titles.

The country's skip Steffen Walstad is looking to emulate his gold medal-winning performances from the 2015 tournament.

Third thrower Maia Ramsfjell was the alternate player of the world silver medal-winning Norwegian women's team earlier this year, while lead Eirin Mesloe is a World Mixed Championship bronze medallist from 2019.

They are due to meet Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Latvia, Nigeria, Slovakia, Switzerland and Ukraine in the initial stage.
