Field Hockey at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics was held from 7 to 14 October. The events took place at the Parque Polideportivo Roca in Buenos Aires, Argentina. For the second Youth Olympics in a row, the format for this event was Hockey 5s, a 5-a-side tournament that is played on a smaller field size.
Initially, 10 teams per tournament were scheduled to take part; however, on 6 July 2017 the International Hockey Federation announced the tournaments will be expanded to 12 teams. [1] As hosts, Argentina qualified in both tournaments. Five continental tournaments were scheduled with two nations qualifying to the Youth Olympics. The 12th and final team was determined through a draw where the third best team qualified from the continent qualified. Should a nation decline it would go to the third best team in another continent. The results of the random draw (and priority) for the boys' tournament was Oceania > Asia > Europe > Africa and Pan American while the results for the girls' tournament was Africa > Asia > Europe > Oceania > Pan America. [1] [2]
To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics athletes must have been born between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2003. Also nations (excluding Argentina) may only qualify in one team sport (Beach Handball, Futsal, Hockey5s or Rugby Sevens) per gender. [2]
