Scheduled from February 28 to March 6, the tournament will provide the team with a competitive platform to refine tactics and assess player readiness. Teams expected to participate include Russia, Hong Kong, and Tanzania.
Coach Kim Lars Björkegren intends to use the tournament to evaluate both seasoned players and emerging talents as he finalizes the squad for the continental championship. The event will also expose the team to a variety of playing styles and high-intensity match situations.
