Draw

The draw for the Olympic qualifiers took place in Mies, Switzerland on 27 November 2023 (19:00 CET).[1][4]

Seeding

The latest ranking before the draw served as the basis to determine the pots for the draw (seeding in brackets).[1][5]

There were four tournaments, with teams to be drawn into two groups of three teams per tournament. Group As drew teams from pots 1, 4, 5, while Group Bs had teams from pots 2, 3, 6.[1]

Also for "geographical balance" purposes, a group could only have a maximum of two European teams and one Americas team. Each tournament could only have a maximum of three European teams, one Asia or Oceania team, and one African team.[1]
