Qualification
8 teams ranked between 1st and 8th in the FIH World Rankings current at the time of seeking entries for the competition qualified automatically. After Germany announced they would not be able host a Semifinal due to financial restrictions, Malaysia was chosen to do so therefore exempt from Round 2, to which were qualified by ranking basis. For this reason one less berth was available at that event and only 7 teams qualified from Round 2. France (17th) qualified as the highest-ranked second-placed team between the Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Elektrostal Round 2 events, leaving Russia (20th) unable to qualify. The following sixteen teams, shown with final pre-tournament rankings, competed in this round of the tournament.
