Beach volleyball

As of 26 April 2022, Solomon Islands qualified for the women's tournament.^[2]^[3] The intended Oceania qualifier was abandoned, so the quota allocation was determined by their position among other nations from Oceania in the women's FIVB Beach Volleyball World Rankings (for performances between 16 April 2018 and 31 March 2022).
