These two nations applied.[1][2]
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.[5]
Originally, the hosts were going to be announced in November 2020 but was postponed in order to learn more details about each bid.[5] Sweden was given the hosting rights on 23 February 2021 after beating Singapore in a bidding process that the IFF called very close.[6][7]
The qualifiers were held in January, February and May 2024.[8] Slovenia will make their debut at a senior IFF tournament.[9][10] Singapore was the only nation to not qualify having played at the 2022 edition.

The draw took place on 5 March 2024 at the Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden.[14][15] The placeholder name the Asian and Oceanian teams would inherit was based of their world ranking, rather than their position in the Asian Championship.[16]

After the group ballot, 16 teams were divided into 4 groups. In the group stage each team will play each other once, while the second stage of the event includes play-offs and placement matches.
The two best teams of group A and B go directly to quarter-final. Teams placed 3rd and 4th in group A and B and the teams placed 1st and 2nd in group C and D will make it to the first playoff round (played before the quarter-finals).
The schedule was announced on 25 March 2024.[18] An updated schedule was released on 3 July 2024.[19]
