Qualification
Sixteen teams will participate in the final tournament in Xiamen, with the host and the defending champion will qualify automatically. Continental qualifying tournaments were held to determine the winner of allocated continental slots (4 from Asia and Europe, and 1 each from Africa, Oceania and Pan Am). The remaining slots were determined via team rankings. As China is both the host team and the defending champion, an extra slot from world ranking is opened.
