            Argentina qualify for men's volleyball tournament at Rio 2016 Olympic Games

            Argentina is the fourth country to earn a place in Rio 2016 men's volleyball tournament (FIVB)

            Argentina have qualified for the men's volleyball tournament at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has confirmed. The South Americans secured their berth by winning the South American Olympic Qualification Tournament, that took place in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela.
             
            The Argentinians beat the host nation 3-2 in a thrilling final match (25-12, 22-25, 25-12, 25-27, 15-12). They join Brazil (host country), the United States (World Cup winners) and Italy (World Cup runners-up) as the teams confirmed for Rio. 
             
            Venezuela and third-placed Chile still have a chance to qualify for Rio 2016 at the World Olympic Qualification Tournaments, which will be held in May 2016.
             
             
             
            Rio2016.com is not an absolute authority on qualification for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which is an ongoing process. Final places will only be confirmed in July 2016 (for the Olympic Games) and August 2016 (for the Paralympic Games). The qualification systems are defined by each sport’s respective International Federation and the International Olympic Committee or International Paralympic Committee, and are subject to change. When an athlete or team wins a quota place for their nation, the final decision on whether this ‘slot’ is used and which athletes are sent is taken by the respective National Olympic Committee or National Paralympic Committee (NOC or NPC). Even when athletes win a ‘nominal’ place for themselves, NOCs/NPCs may have to decide who to send if the number of qualified athletes from one country exceeds the quota.
