Drawing of lots to be streamed live on YouTube
After the last remaining vacancies for the beach volleyball event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games are distributed this weekend, the fans will not have to wait for much longer to find out the opponents their favourites will have to face in the pool stage of the competition. The drawing of lots to establish the seeding and the distribution into pools for the Olympic event will be held at the Olympic beach volleyball stadium in Champ-de-Mars Park at the foot of the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris a week from Friday, on 28 June, at 17:00 local time (15:00 UTC).
The drawing of lots ceremony will be streamed live on the Beach Volleyball World YouTube channel. Click here to watch.
The formula for the beach volleyball tournaments at Paris 2024 will remain the same as in Tokyo 2020. So, the 24 qualified teams in each gender will be split into six single round-robin pools of four for the first competition stage.
The six pool winners, the six pool runners-up and the two best ranked third-placed teams will then qualify directly to the eighthfinals. The remaining four third-placed teams will move on to a sixteenthfinal round, the so called “lucky loser” playoffs. From then on, it will be single-elimination playoffs that also go through the quarterfinals and the semifinals, and eventually lead to the medal matches at the event’s climax.
The beach volleyball battles for Olympic honours will take place from 27 July to 10 August in the exceptional setting of a temporary outdoor arena with a gross capacity of more than 14,000 seats in Champ-de-Mars Park.
