Qualifying
Change to format
Both men's and women's tournaments used to qualify ten teams each for the 2020 Summer Paralympics. On 19 November 2021, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced that during the 2024 Summer Paralympics, all the team sports would only have eight participating teams for both men and women. This reduced the round-robin games of two events from 40 to 24 games.
