Postponement and new bidding
editInitially scheduled to take place from 19 May to 29 May 2021 and be held in Plauen, Germany,[1] however, on August 31, 2020, the contract with the WNBA was terminated.[2]
On December 21, WNBA announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the championship scheduled for May will not be held. The event will not be moved to another date.[3]
There were plans to organize the championships on special rules together with the youth championships in Kranj and Kamnik, but it was not approved by the national federations.[4] On July 21, during the online conference, Tarnowo Podgórne was chosen as the host of the October competition as compensation for the championships not held a year earlier.[5]
