The organisers of the Sjoelen World Cup, which was due to take place in May this year, have issued a statement to say that the competition will not go ahead as planned due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19 restrictions affecting the event.
The organisers want the World Cup to go ahead without restrictions and they are now discussing the possibility of holding the tournament in September 2023, when local authorities feel it will be less likely that restrictions will apply.
This edition of the World Cup was originally due to be held in 2021 – as the event is usually every two years, this new delay will effectively mean that a cycle has been skipped.
