I think so. Japan is going to host the qualifier like World Cup. That draws another question: Is Japan a permanent host of Olympics qualifier now?
Japan is dropping world cup after 2023 I think. They have been hosting this since 1964 or something like that (they have the money). Not sure if the gold and silver will get the olympic berth or just the gold.

I don't know what you're talking about.
Japan just confirmed to be one of the host of OQTs. The OQT Japan hosts is called World Cup 2023. So no dropping World Cup 2023.
As World Cup 2023 serves as one of the OQTs so the best 2 teams will be rewarded tickets to Paris 2024.

Not if you read the new JVA president's interview. He was asking more international competitons in Japan. He even said he planned to set up a new department in JVA called International Affair aiming to host more international games in Japan.

Yes because the world cup is losing its purpose already. it might even be scrapped and changed. JVA want to boost their program, not create new events. They're not FIVB
3 hosts - China, Japan and Brazil
pool c is a joke.
Argentina without conte and de cecco is not a top team + China.
I wish Turkey ended up here instead of Canada.

And who told you they won't play?
Pool A will be very entertaining. A few interesting matches in B and C is meh...

Really don't think so. Bulgaria is not that weak. I think it depends on the new coach. How the team is formed.
They're still one of my favorite teams. They have potential to get through this group.
As confirmed by Polish media, Bartosz Kurek will not play in OQT, he'll be replaced by Bartłomiej Bołądź. Aleksander Śliwka will be the captain.
