The Men's Euro was to take place in four countries, Germany, Italy, Georgia and the Czech Republic from August 17 to September 1, 2021, just after the new dates of the Games (July 23 to August 8). It is now scheduled between September 1 and September 18, 2022, a summer during which no major competition was on the program.

The Ladies' Euro (June 17-27), the first round of which is to be held in Spain and France and the final stages at Paris-Bercy, will therefore serve as the test gallop for the Games. The Women's World Cup in Australia will take place from September 22 to October 1, 2022. The men's Olympic qualification tournaments will be played between June 22 and July 4, 2021.
