In the first stage, the top 24 teams in the world were divided into three groups, with 8 teams in each group playing single round robin, and the top two teams in the group advanced to the Olympic Games. The grouping rule is that the host is the number one seed in each group, and the other 2/kloc-0 teams are grouped in a snake shape according to the world ranking. In the second stage, the remaining five places were won by the highest ranked team in the world, and the deadline was the end of the 2024 World Cup.
