Qualification.
The qualification process was announced on 28 March 2023 with a total of 16 national teams to qualify for the final tournament.

However, the African Volleyball Confederation saw its quota reduced from 3 to 1 because its qualifying tournament only fielded three teams, instead of the minimum 4 teams required.
