Vietnam had been chosen to host group three in the Asia-Oceania zone of the Davis Cup, with the venue supposed to be Hai Dang Tennis Club in the southern province of Tay Ninh. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 wave in the nation, the ITF instead appointed Jordan as host.
Vietnam last hosted the Asia/Oceania Group III in 2018, finishing top that year.
