Indoor volleyball
editOn 6 April 2022, Fédération Internationale de Volleyball welcomed the International Olympic Committee's decision to approve several changes to the Olympic volleyball program and its qualification system, particularly on the rules of the allocation of the quota places for Paris 2024.[3] Twelve teams per gender will participate in the indoor volleyball tournament. As the host nation, France, the reigning men's champions, reserves a direct spot each for both the men's and women's teams.[4]
The remainder of the twelve-team field per gender must endure a dual qualification pathway to secure the quota places for Paris 2024. First, the winners and runners-up from each of the three Olympic qualification tournaments will qualify directly for the Games. Second, the last five berths will be attributed to the eligible NOCs based on the FIVB world rankings by June 2024 while observing the universality principle, that is, prioritizing those from the continents without a qualified team yet in the Paris 2024 tournament.[4][5]

Beach volleyball
editTwenty-four teams per gender will participate in the beach volleyball tournament with a maximum of two per NOC. As the host nation, France reserves the direct spot for both the men's and women's beach volleyball teams.[3][6]
The remainder of the twenty-four team field must endure a tripartite qualification pathway to obtain a ticket for Paris 2024, abiding by the universality principle and respecting the two-team NOC limit. The initial spot will be directly awarded to the men's and women's winners, respectively, from the 2023 FIVB World Championships, scheduled for 6 to 15 October in Tlaxcala, Mexico, with the seventeen highest-ranked eligible pairs joining them in the field through the FIVB Olympic ranking list (based on the twelve best performances achieved as a pair) between 1 January 2023 and 10 June 2024. The final five spots will be attributed to the eligible NOCs from each of the five continental qualification tournaments (Africa – CAVB; Asia and Oceania – AVC; Europe – CEV; North America, Central America, and the Caribbean – NORCECA; and South America – CSV).[6]

Dutch selection controversy
editThe Dutch Olympic Committee, NOC*NSF, selected Steven van de Velde to represent them in beach volleyball. Van de Velde pleaded guilty in 2016 to three counts of raping a 12-year-old child, having travelled to the United Kingdom specifically to do so when they would be alone. The British judge said that he should not be able to continue his Olympic ambitions.[7][8][9] He had initially fled to the Netherlands after the rapes, which took place in 2014, before being extradited back to the UK in 2016.[10]
When asked about the decision to select van de Velde, Michel Everaert, the head of Nederlandse Volleybalbond (NeVoBo; Dutch Volleyball Federation), said that "[van de Velde] was convicted at the time according to English law and he has served his sentence. [...He] has now been fully reintegrated into the Dutch volleyball community" and "[is] an exemplary professional and human being".[11] Sentenced on 21 March 2016 to four years in prison,[12] he was transferred to the Netherlands due to an extradition treaty, where he was re-sentenced under Dutch law[13] and subsequently released on 17 March 2017. Comments he made upon his release were criticised by British child protection charity NSPCC as showing no remorse and being full of self-pity.[14][9]
In June 2024, NeVoBo described the conviction as a "black period" and said that van de Velde was "obviously not happy" about it being brought up ahead of his appearance at the Olympics.[11] NeVoBo said that they have a professionally-guided process for convicted criminals to partake in sport, and that van de Velde met all their conditions, and all guidelines for Olympic participation.[8] The IOC refused to comment.[11] There was significant criticism directed at NOC*NSF for the selection. Advisors on safety in sport said the selection and the Dutch nonchalance was concerning, and that van de Velde's participation "sends a dangerous message that medals and money mean more than [the] safety [of minors in sports]."[11] A nonprofit that supports survivors of sexual abuse criticised Dutch sports media for a lack of attention on van de Velde, especially when compared to how much the same media reported on inconsequential news, like footballer Memphis Depay's choice of headwear.[15]
The British Olympic Association "raised serious concerns" when van de Velde was confirmed,[16][17] with the Dutch Olympic Committee facing international criticism.[18][19] In a statement on their website, NeVoBo criticised English media for "rekindl[ing] the past".[15]See also
