Controversies
A pool match played between South Korea and Japan on 17 January ended in controversy after a late match substitution led to 12 Japanese players being on the pitch.[16] According to an FIH statement "In the last moments of today's FIH Hockey Men's World Cup match between Japan and Korea, the Japanese team had 12 players on the field of play, instead of a maximum of 11 as stipulated in the FIH Rules of Hockey".[17] Following discussion with FIH officials, the Japanese team explained that the incident was an accident and expressed their apologies to the FIH and opposition.[18] The FIH is investigating the incident.[19]

Notes
- The Oceania Cup could not be completed before the qualification deadline due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore the two Oceania quota places have been filled based on the FIH Men's World Ranking.[7]
