Hosting

The Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) gave its member associations until 30 September 2016 to formally make its intent to bid known to the international sports body and 31 March 2017 to submit their bid. The winning bid was scheduled to be announced on mid-2017.[1] On 25 June 2018, FIL President Sue Redfern announced that Canada will host the 2022 World Lacrosse Championship in Coquitlam, British Columbia. According to the bidding team of the Canadian Lacrosse Association, it chose Coquitlam as the proposed host city for its bid citing the locality's previous hosting experience of the 2008 and 2016 men's U19 world championships.[2]

Matches will be held at the Percy Perry Stadium from 12 to 24 July 2022.[2]
