the first and second place winners from each group receive a ticket to Paris.

In Group A, the Dominican Republic (9th) and Serbia (2nd) confirmed their trip to Paris.

In Group B, Turkiye (1st place) was the first to advance to the finals by winning all 7 games, while Group C is a mixed race.

The International Volleyball Federation will give 7 Olympic spots to the 6 countries that passed the world qualifiers and the Olympic host country, France.

with the highest world rankings that did not qualify for the Olympic Games next year.

Korea’s world ranking was so low that its ability to advance to the Olympics for the fourth time in a row was virtually eliminated.

The women’s national team will leave Poland and arrive in Hangzhou, China, where the Asian Games will be held, on the 26th via Doha, Qatar.
