Background

In July 2020, the championship was postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Three teams were intended to compete in the tournament, down from the six that participated in the previous edition. The three teams were Germany, Norway, and Ukraine and were to play each other once in a round-robin format, where the top team will be promoted to the European Championship B and the bottom team will be relegated to the European Championship D.[2][3] In April 2021, after initially being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions in Germany and Norway prevent the competition taking-place. The next edition of the tournament is to be held in 2022.[4]
