Time is nearly up for 3x3 basketball teams looking to realise dreams of a Paris 2024 Olympic Games appearance.

From 16-19 May, 32 teams - 16 men and 16 women - will take to Kossuth Square in Debrecen, Hungary, for the FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament where countries will try and secure the last three quotas per gender.

As with the previous FIBA 3x3 Universality Olympic Tournaments, the eight men's and eight women's teams have been seeded based on their FIBA world ranking points and divided into four pools of four teams: Pool A, Pool B, Pool C and Pool D.

The competition will begin with a round robin where teams in each pool will play each other once.

The top two teams after pool play will advance to the quarter-finals with a place in the semi-finals on the line for the winners.

The final then awaits the winners of the semis with the losers set to battle it out in a third-place play-off.

The three teams that finish on the podium in first, second and third place will obtain a quota for Paris 2024.

Discover the complete competition schedule and how you can watch all the action from the half-court live on Olympic Channel via Olympics.com and the official Olympics app for mobile, below.

National Olympic Committees have the exclusive authority for the representation of their respective teams at the Olympic Games, and athletes' participation at Paris 2024 depends on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation.
