Field hockey at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's qualification

Add article description

The women's qualification for the Olympic field hockey tournament occurred between August 2023 and January 2024, allocating twelve teams for the final tournament. All five FIH (International Hockey Federation) zones secured a continental representation in the Olympic field hockey event.[2]

The host nation France received a direct quota place in the women's tournament after having attained the top twenty-five spot or higher in the FIH world ranking list.[3] The remaining half of the field attributed the quota places to the top three teams in each of the two separate FIH Olympic qualifying tournaments.[2]

Method

Twelve teams will participate in the women's field hockey tournament, with each NOC sending a roster of sixteen players and two substitutes.

Host nation

As the host nation, France received a direct quota place in the women's tournament after having attained the top twenty-five spot or higher in the FIH world ranking list. If the French hockey players had won the 2023 EuroHockey Championships, the number of places in two wildcard tournaments would have risen to seven, with the remaining spot offered to the highest-ranked of the two bronze medal losers.[2][4]

Continental qualification

The winners from each of the five confederation zones (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) in their respective tournaments listed below secured a quota place for their respective NOC:[2]

Qualification via the wild card tournament

The remaining half of the total quota were attributed to the eight-team field through each of the two separate FIH Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQTs), that took place from 13 to 20 January 2024.[1][2] The top three eligible NOCs at the end of each tournament secured the berths to complete the twelve-team field for Paris 2024.[2]

The teams based on the continental quotas, determined by the number of NOCs from each continent within the top 22 of the FIH world ranking list, were eligible to participate in each of the two OQTs. From these quotas, six nations (the host nation France and five continental winners) qualified for Paris were removed from the list, leaving the remainder to be filled by the highest-ranked eligible NOCs in each of the continental meets.[2]
