The event in which eight european national teams (including France, Serbia and the hosts of Germany) will fight for one place in the Olympics will be the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin.

The Olympic qualification in Berlin will be played with the best seven teams in the European ranking who have not yet qualified for the Tokyo Games, plus the hosts.
