Several fixtures were originally planned to be scheduled as double-headers with shared ticketing, but plans were scrapped due to COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, matches that did not feature England had low attendances, including 249 spectators at the opening match between Germany and Spain.[2]
The four national teams involved in the tournament could register a maximum of 25 players, which Canada and Germany did, while England registered a 24-player squad and Spain registered a 23-player squad.
