Olympic Qualification Tournaments[]
There were three Olympic Qualification Tournaments. Only twelve teams that have not yet qualified through the five events mentioned above could play in the tournament:[4]
- The top six teams from the 2019 World Championship that did not already qualify through their continental championships are eligible to participate in the tournament.
- The best ranked teams of each continent in the 2019 World Championship represent the continent in order to determine the continental ranking. The first ranked continent received two more places for the tournament. The second, third and fourth ranked continent received one place each. The last place belongs to a team from Oceania, if one was ranked between 8th–12th at the World Championship. If no team from Oceania met this condition, the second ranked continent receives an extra place instead. The teams that already earned their places through their World Championship ranking will not be considered for receiving places through the continental criterion.
- The twelve teams were allocated in three pools of four teams according to the table below. The top two teams from each pool will qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games.[5]

- 1Since Spain (7th from World) and Egypt (8th) won the 2020 European Championship and the 2020 African Championship respectively, thus qualifying directly for the Olympics, the last slot of the World Championship is allocated to the team ranked 9th, Brazil.
- 2Since Croatia (2nd), Norway (3rd), and Germany (5th) already got a slot through the World Championship, the two slots of the European Championship are allocated to the teams ranked 4th, Slovenia, and 6th, Portugal.
