South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) and South African Hockey Association (SAHA) made an agreement on the Rio 2016 Olympics qualification criteria that the Continental Qualification route would not be considered.[1][2] As a result, Spain, as the highest-ranked team from the 2014–15 Hockey World League Semifinals not already qualified, participated instead.[3][4]
Each of the continental champions received a berth alongside the host Brazil, while another six spots were decided in the 2014–2015 FIH Hockey World League.
