Qualification

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 ICF canoe polo world championships, that would have served as the qualification event for The World Games, were cancelled. Therefore, on October 25 of 2021, the International Canoe Federation announced that Eight men's teams and eight women's teams had been officially invited to compete. The teams were chosen based on the results of the 2018 ICF canoe polo world championships.[3]
