You could do a lot worse in hosting terms than 2027 Portugal, 2031 Croatia - it might create a stable foundation for the event going forward to have two hosts ready in advance.

It's confirmed but I really think this event is unnecessary. Only East Asia and Kazakstan are competitive participants. For me, it's just another(or the best) opportunity for Korean male athletes to be exempt from compulsory military service.
