The 2023 FIVB Volleyball Women's Olympic Qualification Tournaments are the three volleyball tournaments to be contested by 24 national teams.
The 2023 FIVB Volleyball Women’s Olympic Qualification Tournaments, alternatively the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Cup (for the tournament held in Japan) and also known as FIVB Road to Paris Volleyball Qualifier, are the three volleyball tournaments to be contested by 24 women’s national teams of the FIVB. The top teams will earn a place in the 2024 Summer Olympics volleyball tournament.
Tuesday will see Italy take on Slovenia in their quest to book their seat in Paris. Italy is currently ranked in the fifth place. While Slovenia is ranked in the twenty-fifth position. The Italians have never ever come close to winning the Olympic medal. The best that they have performed is in the quarterfinals. Naturally, the Italians would like to change that when they take the field against Slovenia. However, Slovenia will not be an easy opponent to defeat.
The FIVB Olympic Qualification Tournaments (OQTs) include the 24 best-placed non-qualified teams. However, due to the ongoing Ukraine war, Russia has not been granted permission to participate. The rankings have been done on the basis of the FIVB World Rankings as of 18 September 2022. As the host nation, France has already secured its place in the women’s competitions. The other 11 quota places are allocated via a two-step qualification process that ensures the best volleyball nations can participate in the event while observing the principle of universality.
The first step process includes the allocation of six Olympic quota places. These are contested during the FIVB Road to Paris Volleyball Qualifiers. Out of this, the top 24 teams as per the World Ranking (WR) not yet qualified are split into three single round-robin pools of eight teams each. The top two teams of each pool qualify for Paris 2024. On the other hand, the remaining five places per gender are filled by selecting the top five not yet qualified teams in the WR. This will be decided at the end of the Preliminary Phase of Volleyball Nations League 2024. To guarantee the principle of universality, these teams are selected as per the following order of priority: 1) Teams from continents without qualified teams, and 2) Top teams not yet qualified.
Lubian Marina (MB), Degradi Alice Carlotta (OH), Villani Francesca (OH), Bosio Francesca (S), Fersino Eleonora (L), Danesi Anna (MB), Pietrini Elena (OH), Nwakalor Sylvia Chinelo (O), Sylla Myriam Fatime (OH), Squarcini Federica (MB), Parrocchiale Beatrice (L), Gennari Giulia (S), Antropova Ekaterina (O), Nwakalor Linda Nkiruka (MB)
