Qualification edit

The International Olympic Committee and World Aquatics (AQUA) have ratified and released the qualification criteria for Paris 2024. The host nation France reserves a direct quota place each in the men's and women's tournament with the remainder of the total quota attributed to the eligible NOCs through a tripartite qualification pathway.[4][5]

The 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, will produce the winners and runners-up of the men's and women's water polo tournament, qualifying for Paris 2024. Five further quota places will be awarded to the highest-ranked eligible NOC at each of the continental meets (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) approved by World Aquatics. If any of the continental meets does not occur within the qualifying period, the vacant spot will be entitled to the highest-ranked eligible NOC from a respective continent at the succeeding edition of the Worlds.[4]

To complete the water polo roster for the Games, the final batch of quota places will be assigned to the four highest-ranked eligible NOCs for men and two for women at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Qatar.[3][4][6]
