The Road to Tokyo in Brazil

The Brazilian Volleyball Federation released the criteria it will use to determine the beach volleyball teams that will be sent to compete in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. According to the system created by the Federation, the points earned in the ten best results of each team in the World Championships and four and five-star World Tour tournaments from February 2019 to February 2020 will generate a ranking that will be used to select the duos that will fill the Olympic berths the nation eventually earns through the FIVB’s qualification system.
