How does the competition work? Are any Olympic places at stake?
The tournament sees 40 teams in both men’s and women’s competitions, split into eight groups of five with the winners progressing to the round of 16. The second and third-placed sides will enter the ‘round of 24’ phase to see who joins them.
There is then a tie of five single rubbers that will consist of best of five. The first team to three rubbers takes the encounter. Furthermore, the World Championships also sees eight Olympic quota sports up for grabs in Paris 2024.
The teams who reach the quarters and have not previously won quota berths, can qualify for the Paris event.
In the men’s team event, quota spots have already been obtained by France (hosts), China, Australia, Sweden, Brazil, Canada and Egypt.
Women’s quotas have already gone to France (hosts), China, Australia, Germany, the United States, Brazil and Egypt.
