Originally the Badminton World Federation awarded Suzhou, China to host the tournament back in November 2018,[2] but due to the strict restrictions from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was too hard to conduct tournaments in China in 2021.

Thus, on 29 June 2021 BWF announced that Vantaa, Finland would be the new host to stage this tournament.

[3] Unlike previous format of Sudirman Cup, only 16 teams will compete in the competition.

Therefore, teams from Asia, Pan America, Oceania, and Africa qualified based on the World Rankings.

France and Australia, later on, withdrew from the competition, thus Finland was awarded a quota place as the host.
