Host selection

Originally, Cairo was chosen as the replacement venue for the 2020 edition in Hangzhou, China after the Chinese withdrew because of the COVID-19 pandemic (the competition dates were 24–30 April).[5][6] However, on 12 March, it was confirmed the event would be postponed until further notice.[7] The tournament was going to commence on 10–15 December 2021. Although, for a second time, the event was postponed.[8][9] After multiple postponements, Cairo, Egypt was given the hosting rights on the 13 September 2022 for the 2023 edition.[3] This marks Egypt's first time organising the event.
