Wednesday will see Turkey lock horns with Argentina to book a seat for the Paris Olympics. Turkey currently sits at the crown of the world rankings. While Argentina is ranked nineteenth in the world rankings. The Turkish team have shown why they are the world no. 1 currently. Turkey has thrashed both Puerto Rico and Bulgaria with a scoreline of 3-0. In contrast, Argentina lost both the matches against Brazil (0-3) and Japan (0-3). Naturally, the South Americans will be sweating their chances against the European champions. Let us see who comes out with a win on Wednesday.
The FIVB Olympic Qualification Tournaments (OQTs) include the 24 best-placed non-qualified teams. However, Russia has not been granted permission to participate due to the ongoing Ukraine war. 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.
