The tournaments were originally scheduled to take place at Villa Park, but instead took place at the Coventry Stadium in Coventry.[4] The venue was moved because there were concerns with Villa Park being available. The football season was anticipated to start earlier because of the 2022 FIFA World Cup scheduling.[5]
The adjacent Coventry Arena will play host to judo and wrestling.[6]
