CONMEBOL edit

CONMEBOL announced that the 2006 Sudamericano Femenino in Argentina would also serve as the qualifying tournament for the Olympics. Argentina won the tournament, and qualified for the Olympics. The runners-up Brazil advanced to the inter-continental play-off.

OFC edit

The 2007 Pacific Games was played as the first part of Oceania qualification for the 2008 Olympics. The winners of the Pacific Games, Papua New Guinea, met New Zealand in a playoff in March 2008 for a place in the Olympic Games Finals. This had originally been scheduled over two legs (on 8 and 12 March) but the New Zealand leg was cancelled by mutual consent, leaving a single play-off match in Papua New Guinea.

Papua New Guinea   0–2   New Zealand

UEFA edit

UEFA announced that the 2007 Women's World Cup in the People's Republic of China will also serve as the qualifying tournament for the Olympics. Originally it was thought that, should England make the top three European teams, they would compete under the United Kingdom banner. However, on 6 September 2007, FIFA issued a press release indicating that England are ineligible to participate in the 2008 Olympics as England does not have its own Olympic Committee.[9]

As the result of the World Cup, Germany (winners) and Norway (fourth place) qualified for the Olympics, while Sweden and Denmark (both eliminated in the group stage) qualified for the play-off. There has been some further confusion over the identity of the UEFA qualifiers stemming from conflicting media releases from UEFA and FIFA. The FIFA release noted that "teams eliminated at the end of the group phase will have the same ranking irrespective of their position, number of points or goal differences",[9] which implies that Sweden and Denmark will require a playoff for the final qualification spot. While UEFA initially stated that no playoff was required The official website for European football[dead link], this was amended fairly rapidly The official website for European football[dead link].

was thought that should England make the top three European teams they would compete under the United Kingdom banner However on 6 September 2007 FIFA issued a press release indicating that England are ineligible to participate in the 2008 Olympics as England does not have its own Olympic Committee 9 As the result of the World Cup Germany winners and Norway fourth place qualified for the Olympics while Sweden and Denmark both eliminated in the group stage qualified for the play off There has been some further confusion over the identity of the UEFA qualifiers stemming from conflicting media releases from UEFA and FIFA The FIFA release noted that teams eliminated at the end of the group phase will have the same ranking irrespective of their position number of points or goal differences 9 which implies that Sweden and Denmark will require a playoff for the final qualification spot While UEFA initially stated that no playoff was required The official website for European football dead
