South Africa, as the tournament winner, qualified directly for the Olympic Games but their National Olympic Committee decided not to send a team so the runner-up, Kenya, took their place. The next three place-getters, Tunisia, Zimbabwe and Tunisia progressed to the final qualifying competition to play-off for inclusion in the 2016 Games.[citation needed]
