Hungary's team is expected to feature Anna Bondár, whose recent impressive win against a top-10 ranked player marks a significant achievement. She became the first Hungarian woman to defeat a top-10 opponent since 2018.
Other notable playoff matchups include France hosting Australia and Brazil welcoming 2023 champion Canada. Winners of these playoffs will advance to the 2027 qualifiers, with losers dropping to regional competitions next year. Several other nations are also competing in these decisive playoffs.
