Wrestling at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification

This article details the qualifying phase for wrestling at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The competition at these Games comprises a total of 290 wrestlers coming from different nations; each is permitted to enter a maximum of eighteen wrestlers (one per weight category).[1][2]

The qualification period began at the 2023 World Wrestling Championships, which took place from the 16th to 24th of September in Belgrade, Serbia,[3] where five quota places for each of the eighteen weight categories will be awarded to the four medalists (gold, silver, and two bronze) and the champion of a bout between two losers from the bronze-medal matches.[4] At the beginning of the 2024 season, four continental qualification tournaments (Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the joint Africa & Oceania) distributed a total of 144 spots to the top two finalists of each continent across eighteen weight categories. The remainder of the total quota was decided at the 2024 World Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament, offering three quota places per weight category to the two highest-ranked wrestlers and the champion of a wrestle-off between two bronze medalists.[1][4] Two invitational places were granted to members of the Olympic Refugee Team.[5]

Quota places are allocated to the respective NOC and not necessarily to the wrestlers in the qualification event.[1][2]
