Evaluation report
Bids[3] Event Financial Delivery Development Overall Budget Tournament dates (score)
 Singapore 135/165 193/250 340/450 112/135 780/1000 €2.43 million 16–24 November (5/15)
 Sweden 145/165 206/250 334/450 89/135 774/1000 €2.6 million 7–15 December (15/15)

The bids were considered very closely matched and thus the evaluation report was considered a draw, although 9/12 people who are involved in different aspects of the IFF gave Singapore the edge.[4]

Originally, the hosts were going to be announced in November 2020 but was postponed in order to learn more details about each bid.[4] Sweden was given the hosting rights on 23 February 2021 after beating Singapore in a bidding process that the IFF called very close.[5][6]
