Beach volleyball at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's qualification facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The men's qualification for the Olympic beach volleyball tournament took place between January 2023 and June 2024. The competition comprised a total of 24 men's beach volleyball pairs coming from different NOCs, similar to those in the previous editions; each NOC can enter a maximum of two pairs in the men's tournament. As the host nation, France reserves the direct spot for the men's beach volleyball pair.

The remainder of the twenty-four team field must endure a tripartite qualification pathway to obtain a ticket for Paris 2024, abiding by the universality principle and respecting the two-pair NOC limit. The initial spot was directly awarded to the men's winners, respectively, from the 2023 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, scheduled from 6 to 15 October in Mexico, with the seventeen highest-ranked eligible men's pairs joining them in the field through the FIVB Olympic ranking list (based on the twelve best performances achieved as a pair) between 1 January 2023 and 9 June 2024. The events valid for ranking results include but are not limited to the following:

  • 2023 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships
  • 2023–2024 Beach Pro Tour (Elite, Challenge, Future, and Finals)
  • 2023–2024 FIVB Continental Tours Finals

The final five spots were attributed to the highest-ranked eligible NOCs from each of the five continental qualification tournaments, namely the AVC Continental Cup Final for Asia and Oceania; the CAVB Continental Cup Final for Africa; the CEV Continental Cup Final for Europe; the CSV Continental Cup Final for South America; and the NORCECA Continental Cup Final for North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The final phase of these five events will occur between 13 and 23 June 2024.
