A total of twelve countries participated in the tournament.

Venues

The championship were played in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Participating teams

Unlike previous edition, Europe was represented only by the teams who competed at the first phase of 2022 European Championship qualification and failed to advance to the Relegation Round. That implied Faroe Islands not to defend their title at this tournament.
