Olympic Qualification Tournaments
The Olympic Qualification Tournaments will be held from 14 to 17 March 2024. Only twelve eligible teams through the five events mentioned above could play in the tournament:

The top six teams from the World championship that did not already qualify through their continental championships are eligible to participate in the tournament. The highest-ranked teams of each continent in the World championship represented the continent in order to determine the continental ranking. The first-ranked continent (Europe) received two more places for the tournament. The second (Africa), third (Asia), and fourth (Americas)-ranked continents received one place each. The last place belongs to a team from Oceania, if one was ranked between 8th–12th at the World Championship. As no team from Oceania met this condition, the second-ranked continent received an extra place instead. The teams that already earned their places through their World championship ranking will not be considered for receiving places through the continental criterion. In such cases, the access list will be rebalanced accordingly. The twelve teams will be allocated in three pools of four teams according to the table below. The top two teams from each pool will qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games. Teams
