The tournament, scheduled from July 10 through July 15, will see the United States face Korea, Chinese Taipei and Japan in the pool‑play stage before advancing to knockout rounds.
Having previously captured gold with the 2024 18U National Team, this marks Partida’s second consecutive international appearance, underscoring his rapid rise on the collegiate stage.
