Volleyball at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's qualification facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The women's qualification for the Olympic volleyball tournament occurred between September 2023 and June 2024, allocating twelve teams for the final tournament. As the host nation, France reserved a direct spot each for the women's team, marking the country's maiden participation in the Olympic tournament.

The remainder of the twelve-team field had to endure a dual qualification pathway to secure the quota places for Paris 2024. First, the winners and runners-up from each of the three Olympic qualification tournaments qualified directly for the Games. Second, the last five berths were attributed to the eligible NOCs based on the FIVB world rankings by June 2024, abiding by the universality principle, that was, prioritizing those from the continents without a qualified team yet in the Paris 2024 tournament.

World ranking qualification

The remaining five berths were attributed to the highest-ranked eligible NOCs based on the FIVB world rankings at the end of the 2024 FIVB Volleyball Nations League preliminary phase. Under the universality principle, the teams were selected according to the order of priority: 1) those from the continent without a qualified team; and 2) highest-ranked eligible NOCs irrespective of the continent.
