The women's qualification for the Olympic water polo tournament will occur between July 2023 and February 2024, allocating ten teams for the final tournament. As the host nation, France reserves a direct spot each for the women's team.[2][3]
The remainder of the total quota will be attributed to the eligible NOCs through a tripartite qualification pathway. First, the 2023 World Aquatics Championships, scheduled for 16 to 28 July in Fukuoka, Japan, produced the winners and runners-up of the women's water polo tournament qualifying for Paris 2024. Five more 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 qualifying tournaments 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.[3]
The last batch of quota places will be assigned to the two highest-ranked eligible NOCs at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Qatar to complete the ten-team field for the Games.[2][3]
