It was originally supposed to take place with 24 teams in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney from 1 to 10 January 2021, but was changed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Following a case of COVID-19 in the tournament's quarantine hotel, all matches scheduled for 4 February have been suspended.[4]

Team Serbia was the defending champion, but got eliminated in the group stage. Team Russia won the tournament, defeating Italy 2–0 in the final.[5][6]
