The 2019 Women's FIH Olympic Qualifiers was the final stage of the qualification for the women's field hockey event at the 2020 Summer Olympics. It was held in October and November 2019.

Format[]

Originally, twelve teams were to take part in the Olympic qualifying events. These teams were to be drawn into six pairs; each pair playing a two-match, aggregate score series. The winner of each series qualified for the Olympics. As Japan won the 2018 Asian Games (thereby qualifying twice, once as host and once as Asian champions), there instead were 14 teams, seven of whom qualified.[1] The seven Olympic qualifiers each featured two nations playing two back-to-back matches, with nations drawn to play each other based on their rankings at the end of the 2018 / 2019 Continental Championships. The qualifiers were held in October and November 2019 with the matches hosted by the higher-ranked of the two competing nations.[2]

Qualification[]

The participating teams were confirmed on 29 August 2019 by the International Hockey Federation.[3]

Notes[]

  1. ^ a b As two of the four FIH Pro League qualifiers had already qualified for the Olympics through their confederation's tournaments, the two FIH Pro League qualifying spots were added to the (originally four) FIH World Rankings quota.
  2. ^ a b c Argentina, the Netherlands, and New Zealand already qualified directly for the 2020 Summer Olympics by winning their continental championships, so they were replaced by the highest ranked teams not already qualified.
  3. ^ Japan finished in the top two and cannot qualify for the Olympic Qualifiers because they are already qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics, the team that finished third does not automatically qualify for the FIH Olympic qualifiers. Any such additional place is determined by the FIH World Rankings as at the completion of the continental championships.
