A first draft of the venues was proposed in August 2023.[5] The tournament will be played across four venues in four cities: one in Denmark (Herning, Groups A and B), one in Norway (Oslo, Groups C and D), and two in Sweden (Malmö and Kristianstad, Groups E and F).[6] The main round will take place in Herning and Malmö, with the former organising the final weekend.[7] In regards to Norway, Oslo was chosen over Trondheim, after negotiations with Trondheim fell through due to financial reasons.[8]
In September 2024, one team per venue was selected. Denmark will play in Herning (Group B), Norway in Oslo (Group C) and Sweden in Malmö (Group E). If they qualify, Germany will play in Herning (Group A), the Faroe Islands in Oslo (Group D) and Iceland in Kristianstad (Group F).[9]
