The International Hockey Federation (FIH) is all set to host the Women’s FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers in Valencia with eight out of 16 teams locking horns against each other in the tournament, commencing on January 13, Saturday. The other eight sides will take on each other in the Women’s FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers in Ranchi.

The FIH divided the teams into pools based on their world ranking at midnight on November 5, 2023. Belgium, Korea, Ireland, and Ukraine will be a part of Pool A, while Great Britain, Canada, Malaysia, and Spain will be in Pool B.

Notably, Australia's Women’s and Men’s teams, China's Women’s team, France (hosts), India's Men’s side, and Netherlands Women’s and men’s teams have already secured their spots at the Paris Olympics 2024.

From the Valencia qualifier, the top three teams at the end of the campaign are expected to move to the main event in Paris. A total of six sides will move to the Paris Olympics from both Women’s Qualifiers. The Paris Olympics will happen from 26th July to 11th August 2024.

Interestingly, Belgium is the top-ranked team in Pool A, placed at the fourth rank in the world rankings. On the other hand, Great Britain, who won the gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, will start as strong favorites in Pool B.
