Seeding The seedings for the 16 teams were released by BWF around June 2021. France and Australia originally were among the 16 teams but later on, withdrew from the competition. Thus, Finland was awarded a place as the host. New Zealand who originally have been given a place to replace Australia later on declined. In the end, French Polynesia was awarded the place for Oceania, replacing Australia, due to their performance at the 2019 Pacific Games.
