The call for 18 players for this activity it is made up of:
- Goal | Elena Rodríguez (Handball Sant Joan Despí), Lucía Alonso (Liberbank Gijón)

The national coach keeps the block used in the last activity, held in Azuqueca de Henares in mid-April. Álvarez only introduces three new features regarding that call, also taking into account that the number of players increases this time: Almudena Gutierrez, who was already on the first date in March, and Paola Bernabé and Nerea Solares, that are released as Junior Warriors -Bernabé has already attended several times as a youth-.
The summoned players are summoned on Sunday June 20 to stay in Hoznayo, and from there start training to prepare for the competition that starts on Friday 24 at the La Cantábrica de Astillero Sports Complex.
