Draw edit

The draw for the competition was done virtually on 22 August 2023.[2][3]

In September 2023, the allocation of the men's groups were reorganized following the late entry of the Sri Lanka national team as the Independent Athletes. The Sri Lanka team competed under the OCA flag just in rugby sevens due to their national rugby federation's suspension.[4]
