The Scots have played in the tournament in nine out of the last 10 years, finishing fourth on two occasions in 2011 and 2014.

Scotland will play against New Zealand, Korea Republic and Austria in Group B, with their final placing determining who they play on the final day.

The group of players is similar to the one that was selected for two matches against Denmark in Cyprus last month where Scotland drew on both occasions.

Included is Arsenal left back Emma who heads into the tournament on 49 caps.

The first game, against New Zealand, is scheduled to be played today (Wednesday).

Emma looks set to be part of Anna Signeul’s Scottish side which will compete at Euro 2017 in July and August in a group along with England, Spain and Portugal.
