Rugby sevens at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's qualification

Add article description


The men's qualification for the Olympic rugby sevens tournament takes place between November 2022 and June 2024, allocating twelve teams for the final tournament. All six World Rugby zones are expected to have a continental representation in the Olympic rugby sevens tournament.[2] 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 across three qualifying routes.[2]

The top four teams at the end of the 2022–23 World Rugby Sevens Series directly secured the Paris 2024 spots for their respective NOC. Then, six further places were awarded to each of the six confederations (Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America) at their designated 2023 World Rugby Regional Association Olympic Qualification Tournaments.[2] To complete the twelve-team field for Paris 2024, the remaining berth will go to the winner of the 2024 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament to be scheduled a month before the Games commence.[2][3][4]
