England, France and South Africa. Group B consists of holders Canada,The Netherlands, New Zealand and Russia.

Scotland coach Anna Signeul said: “The first Cyprus Cup was a fantastic competition, played in a beautiful part of the world, and we’re delighted that even more top sides are taking part this year.

“It’s always a bit special when Scotland and England face each other, so we’ll be looking forward to that tie on March 10.

"We can’t wait to get out to Cyprus to test ourselves against some great teams, and get our preparations for the World Cup qualifiers later
this year off to a good start.”
