While Bulgaria is ranked twenty-fifth in the world rankings. Heading into Wednesday’s match, the Dutch side is coming after getting thrashed by the Belgians (0-3). On the other hand, Bulgaria is also coming with a thrashing defeat in their last game against Argentina (0-3). The Olympic qualification is at stake in this competition. Naturally, both teams will be giving their all in this match given that both teams are coming after a loss.
The 24 teams are placed in three pools of eight, for a round-robin tournament. Subsequently, in each group, every team will face each other once. After this, the top two ranked teams will obtain a quota for Paris 2024. Rio de Janeiro in Brazil will host all games of Pool A. While, while the teams in Pool B will play in Tokyo, Japan. On the other hand, nations in Pool C are going to play in Xi’an, People’s Republic of China.
The Olympic Qualification Tournaments will include the 24 best-placed non-qualified teams except Russia who is ineligible to compete in the OQTs due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The National Olympic Committees have the exclusive authority for the representation of their respective countries at the Olympic Games. Therefore, the athletes’ participation at the Paris Games depends on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation at Paris 2024.
