The Women's field hockey Qualifying Tournaments for the 2008 Summer Olympics was a qualification tournament that determined the final three spots for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The qualifying tournament, which involved 18 teams divided into three groups, with three separate qualifying tournaments, was held in Azerbaijan, Russia and Canada, at different times in 2008. Only the following winners of each qualifying tournament earned a berth in the 2008 Summer Olympics: Spain, United States, and South Korea.
Below is a list of the 18 teams participating in this qualifying tournament:[1]
In addition, the International Hockey Federation also named three reserve teams after two of the above teams failed to make it in this qualifying tournament (two of them already confirmed to be in the reserve list):[2][3]
- France (replace Chinese Taipei in Qualifying 2)
- Uruguay (replace Cuba in Qualifying 3)
Qualifying 1 was held from 12 to 20 April 2008 in Baku, Azerbaijan.[4]
Players for the Kenyan team are back in the tournament after recently withdrawing due to political turmoil in their country.[5][6]
