Indoor Volleyball Qualification
The International Olympic Committee and Fédération Internationale de Volleyball agreed on how teams would qualify. Twelve teams for men and twelve for women competed in indoor volleyball. As the host country, France automatically got a spot for both their men's and women's teams.
The other teams had two ways to qualify:
- The top two teams from three special Olympic qualification tournaments earned their spots directly.
- The last five spots were given to teams based on their world rankings. This also made sure that countries from all continents had a chance to play.
Men's Volleyball Qualification
Getting into the Olympic volleyball tournament is a big deal for teams! For the men's teams playing in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, the qualification process happened between September 2023 and June 2024. A total of twelve teams earned their spots to compete.
As the host country for the Olympics, France automatically got a spot for its men's team. They were also the champions from the last Olympics, which is pretty cool!
The other eleven spots were decided in two main ways. First, there were three special Olympic qualification tournaments. The top two teams from each of these tournaments earned a direct ticket to Paris. Second, the last five spots were given out based on how well teams were ranked in the FIVB World Rankings in June 2024. This part of the process made sure that teams from different parts of the world had a chance to qualify, especially continents that didn't have a team yet.
How Teams Qualified for the Olympics
Here's a quick look at how the twelve men's volleyball teams earned their spots for the Paris 2024 Olympics:

Host Country Spot
The FIVB, which is the main group for volleyball, always gives one spot in the Olympic tournament to the country hosting the Games.
FRA – France got a spot because they are hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics. They were also the champions of the 2020 Summer Olympics!
Olympic Qualification Tournaments
These tournaments were a really important way for teams to qualify. The top two teams from each of the three special qualification groups automatically earned their spots for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Teams That Could Play
The FIVB announced which twenty-four teams were allowed to compete in these Olympic qualification tournaments. This list was based on their world rankings from September 12, 2022. There were two exceptions:
- France didn't need to play because they already qualified as the host nation.
- Russia was not allowed to play in international competitions at that time.
Here's what the colors in the table mean:
Teams that could play in the Olympic Qualification Tournament | |
Team that qualified as hosts for the 2024 Summer Olympics | |
Team that was not allowed to play in international competitions |
World Ranking Qualification
After the Olympic Qualification Tournaments, there were still five spots left for the Olympics. These spots were given to the highest-ranked teams in the FIVB world rankings. This happened after the 2024 FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League was finished.
The FIVB used a special rule called the "universality principle." This means they first looked for teams from continents that didn't have any qualified teams yet. After that, the remaining spots went to the highest-ranked teams overall, no matter which continent they were from.
Here's what the colors in the table mean for the world rankings:
Teams that already qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics through the Olympic Qualification Tournament | |
Team that qualified as hosts for the 2024 Summer Olympics | |
Team that qualified by being the best-ranked team from a continent without a qualified team (Africa) | |
Teams that qualified through the remaining spots for top World Ranking teams |

- The winners of the 2023 FIVB World Championships (held in Tlaxcala, Mexico) earned a direct spot.
- The next seventeen highest-ranked teams on the FIVB Olympic ranking list also qualified. This list was based on their best twelve performances between January 2023 and June 2024.
