Olympic qualifying events
Originally, twelve teams were to take part in the Olympic qualifying events. These teams were to be drawn into six pairs; each pair playing a two-match, aggregate score series. The winner of each series qualifies for the Olympics. As Japan won the 2018 Asian Games (thereby qualifying twice, once as host and once as Asian champions), there will instead be 14 teams, 7 of whom will qualify.
Qualification
Matches The draw for the final seven qualification ties was held on 9 September 2019. The ties will be played over two legs, both in the home team's venue.
