- World Championship Women's Triples 2023 : Vietnam

- International ranking according to the above events : France, Tunisia, Spain
Each federation will also be allowed to add two ‘extra-officials’ to its team, whose stay in the ‘Olympic Village’ will be at its own expenses.
As the World Games are placed under the IOC aegis, most National Olympic Committees form national delegations and cover some or all of the transport costs. Find out more.
The concerned federations will have until January 31st to accept or refuse their selection. In the event of withdrawal, they will be replaced, depending on the case, either by the finalist of the directly qualifying competition, or by the next competitor in the FIPJP international ranking. However, in the event of acceptance followed by withdrawal, a federation will be banned from the next two editions of the World Games - which are held every four years - and the 2025 and 2026 World Championships.

- Next ranked: Madagascar, Germany, Cambodia
