Beach volleyball at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's qualification explained

The men's qualification for the Olympic beach volleyball tournament will occur between January 2023 and June 2024. The competition will comprise a total of 24 men's beach volleyball pairs coming from different NOCs, similar to those in the previous editions; each NOC can enter a maximum of two pairs in the men's tournament. As the host nation, France reserves the direct spot for the men's beach volleyball pair.[1] [2]

The remainder of the twenty-four team field must endure a tripartite qualification pathway to obtain a ticket for Paris 2024, abiding by the universality principle and respecting the two-pair NOC limit. The initial spot was directly awarded to the men's winners, respectively, from the 2023 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, scheduled from 6 to 15 October in Mexico, with the seventeen highest-ranked eligible men's pairs joining them in the field through the FIVB Olympic ranking list (based on the twelve best performances achieved as a pair) between 1 January 2023 and 9 June 2024. The events valid for ranking results include but are not limited to the following:[2]

The final five spots will be attributed to the highest-ranked eligible NOCs from each of the five continental qualification tournaments, namely the AVC Continental Cup Final for Asia and Oceania; the CAVB Continental Cup Final for Africa; the CEV Continental Cup Final for Europe; the CSV Continental Cup Final for South America; and the NORCECA Continental Cup Final for North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The final phase of these five events will occur between 13 and 23 June 2024.[2]
