In lacrosse and flag football, do we have any ideas for qualification?

2027 lacrosse world championship will serve as main qualification event

found an article on the ICC general assembly that suggets that men's qualification will be based on continental rankings with highest place from europe (good news from my british perspective) asia, africa and oceania and USA getting a spot with a world qualifier for the last spot.

the women's will be based on T20 world cup qualification....i assume that is the world cup in england next year

That's a total of 6 teams if I'm counting correctly, where will the rest come from?

Oh just come on. Oh well, I guess those are the sports I'll see the least of anyway, but still

I do really recommend enjoying the heck out of Lacrosse (and at least watching the gold medal matches). Does it deserve to be in the Olympics? Nope! Is it a super entertaining sport to watch? Heck ya!

At the moment the men's tournament will be India, Australia, England/Great Britain, South Africa, USA and possibly New Zealand. Although USA might yet be banned from the Olympics.

Great Britain from watching them recently I think its 50/50. They either do well or awful. Its possible they completely fail to qualify
