The champions were teams from Spain (2019, 2022) and Portugal (2023).

The Ukrainian team participated in all three final tournaments. In 2019, Vitaliy Odegov's wards secured third place in their group, and in 2022 they reached the semifinals. In 2023, Igor Moskvin's team also made it to the semifinal stage.
