In the two-legged Olympic Qualifiers, World No 5 Indian men will be up against World No 22 Russia, while the World No 9 Indian women will face World No 13 USA. The winners of the Olympic Qualifiers will qualify for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

The winners will be determined as follows: teams will be ranked according to the number of points each has accumulated in both matches (for each match, 3 points are awarded to the winner, 1 point to each team in the event of a draw and 0 point to the loser).

If there is equality among the two teams, then the teams will be ranked according to their respective goal difference. If the equality remains, a shoot-out competition will be played to establish the winner. Tokyo Olympic hockey tournaments will be staged from 25 July to 7 August next year and involve 12 men and 12 women teams.
