Following the end of the qualification period at 31 December 2023, the FEI has published the Olympic and Paralympic Rankings which are used as the basis for the individual qualification slots for Paris 2024, and where relevant for reallocation and composite team purposes as per the qualification systems inherent to each discipline.
We have outlined below the current status for team and individual qualification slots within each of the four disciplines – Jumping, Dressage, Eventing, and Para Dressage - which, as you will note, is subject to confirmation based on the relevant qualification requirements, procedures and deadlines.
Jumping Update
Overall quota: 75 Athlete/Horse Combinations - 20 Teams (60 Athlete/Horse Combinations) & 15 Individual Athlete/Horse Combinations
You will find here the Jumping Qualification System and the 20 NOCs that have obtained a Team quota place (subject to meeting relevant MERs – NOC Certificate of Capability to be confirmed by 8 January 2024): France (as host nation), Sweden, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Israel, Poland, United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Japan, Brazil. These NOCs have until 5 February 2024 to confirm their Team quota place with the exception of France (as host country) who is required to confirm by 8 January 2024.
Once all 20 Teams have been confirmed (including any required reallocation process February/March 2024), only NOCs that have not accepted a Team quota place will be eligible to obtain one of the 15 Individual quota places, based on the FEI Olympic Ranking for Jumping published today, which compiles the best 15 results per Athlete/Horse Combination in the Olympic Ranking Events within the period from 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2023.
Currently, were the above 20 NOCs to confirm their Team allocation (and have met all the requirements), the following nations will have qualified an Individual qualification slot - which would also need to be confirmed by 18 March 2024 as per the qualification timeline/process. Should any nations not use their Team qualification slot, the reallocation process for unused Team quota places would have an impact on the nations listed below.

Dressage Update
Overall quota: 60 Athlete/Horse Combinations – 15 Teams (45 Athlete/Horse Combinations) & 15 Individual Athlete/Horse Combinations
You will find here the Dressage Qualification System and the 14 NOCs that have obtained a team quota place (subject to meeting relevant requirements – NOC Certificate of Capability to be confirmed by 8 January 2024): France (as host nation), Denmark, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, United States of America, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Brazil, Canada, Australia. These NOCs have until 5 February 2024 to confirm their Team quota place with the exception of France (as host country) who is required to confirm by 8 January 2024. The 15th team quota slot for Group F, which is yet to be allocated, will be confirmed as per the reallocation procedure of unused team quota places in the Dressage Qualification System in due course.
Once the teams have been confirmed (including any required reallocation process February/March 2024), only NOCs that have not accepted a Team quota place will be eligible to obtain one of the 15 Individual quota places, based on the FEI Olympic Ranking for Dressage published today (see links below) which is limited to the best four results per Athlete/Horse combination in Olympic Ranking events, within the period from 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2023.
Currently, the following nations have qualified an individual qualification slot, however, depending on the reallocation of unused team quota places and/or should any nations decline their team slot (deadline 5 February 2024), the reallocation process for unused team quota places would have an impact on the nations listed below. Furthermore, should the overall quota of 60 places not have been filled after completing the reallocation process, the leftover quota places will be allocated via the overall FEI Olympic Rankings for Dressage and a NOC that has already earned/accepted an Individual quota place will be entitled to earn a second Individual quota place.

Eventing Update

You will find here the Eventing Qualification System and the 16 NOCs that have obtained a Team quota place (subject to meeting relevant requirements – NOC Certificate of Capability to be confirmed by 8 January 2024): France (as host nation), Germany, United States of America, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Italy.
These NOCs have until 5 February 2024 to confirm their Team quota place with the exception of France (as host country) who is required to confirm by 8 January 2024.
Once the Teams have been confirmed (including any required reallocation process February/March 2024), only NOCs that have not accepted a Team quota place will be eligible to obtain Individual quota places, based on the FEI Olympic Ranking for Eventing published today. Important to note an NOC can qualify for a maximum of two individual places in Eventing (only one per NOC in Jumping and Dressage), either through their FEI Olympic Group or through the overall FEI Olympic Ranking, or both.
The FEI Olympic Ranking – Eventing is limited to the best four results per Athlete/Horse combination in the qualifying events, within the period from 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2023.
An NOC can therefore earn up to two individual quota places via the FEI Olympic Group Rankings with 14 Individual Quota places allocated via the FEI Olympic Group Rankings and three Individual Quota places allocated via the overall FEI Olympic Ranking. See links and current nations eligible for Individual quota places below, however, depending on the reallocation of unused Team quota places and/or should any nations decline their Team slot (deadline 5 February 2024), or not meet the requirements, the reallocation process for unused Team quota places would have an impact on the nations listed below.
