The celebration of the 2012 Men's Cup was originally designed to be played in Santiago de Chile, but in the end it was changed to be played in November in the Brazilian city of Recife. One month before the competition, the Catalan Federation announced that the team couldn't play in the Cup because the Catalan government decided not to support the team economically, and at the same time, the Argentinian Federation also announced that they won't be playing either as they were having internal problems. Seeing that the two bigger countries were not coming to the event, the 2012 Men's Cup was disbanded.
The Uruguayan city of Montevideo was selected as host for the 2013 Woman's Cup, but the celebration of that event was not possible for the same problems.

Roller hockey, rink hockey or quad hockey is a team sport played on roller skates. It is a quad-skate team sport where two teams face-off against one another, trying to drive a hard ball with their sticks into the opposing teams' goalnet. Each team has five players on the rink at a time, four of whom are skaters and one who is the goalkeeper. The ball can only be put in motion by a stick, not the skate, otherwise a foul will be stated. The game has two 25-minute halves, with 15-minute halftime intermission, plus up to two 5-minute golden goal periods to settle ties with the clock stopping when the ball becomes dead. If the tie persists, a penalty shootout will determine the winner. Players – including the goalie – use quad skates, whereas inline skates are used in inline hockey. The sticks are similar to those in bandy and shinty. Excessive contact between players is forbidden in rink hockey, unlike inline hockey.
