Qualification will be based on the World Taekwondo Federation world ranking list on 31 March 2015, with 112 places being awarded through that system, 14 in each event. In addition, 8 'Universality' places, 1 per event, will be allocated in the individual competition to ensure a spread of nations can compete, and hosts Azerbaijan will also be entitled to one fighter per event.
National Olympic Committees, (NOCs) are restricted to a maximum of eight entries in total, and two entries in any single event. [1]
Taekwondo events that count towards Olympic ranking and thus qualification are given a 'G' ranking from G-1 to G-10, with G-10 being the most valuable. [2] Taekwondo at the European Games will have a G-4 ranking event status; therefore ranking points towards qualification for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will be available at the 2015 European Games.
