“We have reviewed the qualification path for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games and the Paris tournament performance and made a number of adjustments to the previous path. Our main objectives were a fair regional distribution and giving the host a preferential opportunity to qualify, while ensuring that the host should be among the eight best teams in the world. We look forward to an exciting battle for the LA28 tickets over the next two years, starting with the World Championships in China, July 10-18, 2026.”
