Reigning champion Mexico, meanwhile, will have to deal with London 2012 bronze medal winner South Korea, Germany and Fiji in Group C.

Finally, Argentina - which won the tournament in 2004 and 2008 - will meet Honduras, Portugal and Algeria in Group D.
The final is scheduled to take place on Aug. 20 in Rio de Janeiro.
