Like the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the finals and qualifying countries for the 2024 Paris Olympics were determined by the FIBA 3x3 national ranking. At the last Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese (men's) and Mongolian (women's) 3x3 national teams went straight to the Olympic finals and kept their pride in Asia, but only China will go straight to the Olympic finals at the Paris Olympics.

The U.S. men's 3x3 national team, whose pride was cracked when the men's 3x3 national team failed to compete in the Olympic finals at the last Tokyo Olympics, will be on the Olympic 3x3 court for the first time through the Paris Olympics. The U.S. men's 3x3 national team won a silver medal at this year's 3x3 World Cup and won a direct ticket to the Olympic finals.

China's men's 3x3 national team, which lost its pride at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, is vowing revenge at the Olympics. China, which was eliminated in the quarterfinals after suffering a shocking 15-22 loss to Taiwan at the Hangzhou Asian Games at home.

Through this announcement, however, the Chinese men's 3x3 national team, which is the only one in Asia to keep its pride by winning a ticket to the Olympic finals, has been targeting the Olympics through the selection of its professional league players to the 3x3 national team and exchanges with Serbian teams since last year, raising expectations for its performance in the Olympics.

Unlike the sluggish men's 3x3 national team, the Chinese women's 3x3 national team, which won the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, also succeeded in advancing to the finals of the Paris Olympics. It is the Chinese women's 3x3 national team that has consistently shown world-class skills, including the 3x3 World Cup in 2019 and the bronze medal at the 2022 Tokyo Olympics.

The U.S. women's 3x3 national team, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics women's 3x3 champion, is also heading to Paris. The U.S. women's 3x3 national team, which has been running the women's 3x3 national team since last year to win its second consecutive Olympic title, plans to go beyond strong rivals China and France.

The French women's 3x3 national team, the home team, also succeeded in advancing to the Olympic finals. The French women's 3x3 national team, which is showing world-class performance with outstanding performance, has set a goal of winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics at home and is systematically preparing for the Olympics with full support from the French Basketball Association.

Only a total of 16 teams, eight men's and eight women's teams, will be eligible for the 2024 Paris Olympics 3x3 finals. FIBA will hold three preliminary rounds in the first half of next year for the remaining five tickets for the finals for men and women to determine the protagonist of the trip to Paris. Olympic qualifying venues and teams will be announced in December.
