The competitions were postponed due to a clash with the FIFA World Cup in nearby Qatar.
The competition was due to be held in the United Arab Emirates from November 16 to 27 later this year but the governing body's Executive Council took the decision after receiving instruction from the Dubai Government and Dubai Sports Council.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled for November 20 to December 18.
“The Dubai Government directive is based on rationale surrounding security, health concerns, and capacity in Dubai at this time because of the extraordinary conditions the FIFA World Cup brings,” read an IWBF statement.
