Draw[edit]

The draw took place on X July 2021, in Chikara City, Namimori. All 8 participating teams were drawn into the 2 groups for the group stage based on the 4 pots that they were divided into. Due to the host countries not taking part into the competition (unless they would win their regional cup, which is Qasentria's case), Group A was drawn to be held in Qasentria and Group B in Namimori.
