The London 2012 Olympic Hockey competition schedule has been confirmed today, revealing when teams will play each other in the preliminary rounds of the men’s and women’s tournaments.

Field hockey at the 2012 Summer Olympics is scheduled to be held from 29 July to 11 August 2012 at the Riverbank Arena, London. On 13 November 2010, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) decided to allocate twelve teams for each men and women events respectively.

The first match at the Riverbank Arena will see Australia’s women take on New Zealand on 29 July, while Great Britain’s women’s first match will be against Japan. See the full details of the women’s competition.

In the men’s competition, the current Olympic champions Germany start their tournament against Belgium, while Great Britain’s first match will be against Argentina. See the full details of the men’s competition.

Debbie Jevans, Director of Sport at the London 2012 Organising Committee, said: ‘The Riverbank Arena is set to stage exciting world-class sport during the Olympic Games. The Visa International Invitational Hockey Tournament helped us test the venue and we will continue to work with the International Hockey Federation to fine-tune our plans before the first Olympic match takes place on the distinctive blue and pink pitches.’

Competition format

The 12 teams in each tournament have been divided into two pools of six based on world rankings, and each team will play every other team in their pool. The top two teams in each pool will qualify for the semi-finals, with the winners of those matches going head-to-head for the gold medal. The other teams in the two groups play each other to determine final placings.
