The tournament was criticized by sports journalists outside the host country due a low local promotion and consequently a very low ticket sales.[3][4] Despite this, it was considered a success by the IFF.[5]
Host selection
Singapore
Thailand
Czech Republic (withdrew)
Singapore and Thailand stated they wanted to bid for 2023, while Czech Republic chose to focus on a bid for 2025 after initially confirming an interest for 2023.[6][7] When the application window ended, only Singapore made an official bid.[8][9]
Singapore was awarded the hosting rights on 11 December 2020.[10][11][12][13]
Qualification
Thirteen nations returned from 2021. Italy and Thailand both failed to qualify after receiving wildcards for 2021, while Russia was banned from taking part due to its invasion of Ukraine. Those returning were Australia and Japan after withdrawing from 2021, while France made their World Championship debut.
