There will be two sections in the tournament, Open and Girls. A player's age as of January 1, 2025 determines their eligibility for a section.
Participants will play 11 standard chess matches from February 23 to March 8 at the Hotel Palas in Petrovac.
The Vietnamese competitors are expected to earn medals at this championship, which features 126 young chess masters from 30 countries and regions.
