The ITF can reveal the full list of players set to compete at the 2023 Billie Jean King Cup Juniors by Gainbridge Finals, which will take place from 6-12 November in the historic city of Cordoba.

The Billie Jean King Cup Juniors Finals are the culmination of a season-long competition which has seen nations navigate qualifying events across five regions – Asia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, South America and North/Central America and the Caribbean.

Sixteen teams will now compete at the Finals, which are being held across two sites – Open Arena, Córdoba and the Real Aeroclub de Córdoba – in a bid to be crowned the world’s best in the 16-and-under age category.
