2007 African Olympic Field Hockey Qualifier

2007 African Olympic Qualifier was the African field hockey qualification tournament for 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It was held in Nairobi, Kenya from July 14 to July 22, 2007. The winner of the tournament was awarded an automatic place to the 2008 Games, while the runner-up qualified for one of the Olympic Qualifying Tournaments.

2007 All-Africa Games were supposed to be the African qualifier for 2008 Olympics, but as the host country Algeria lacks suitable venues, field hockey was not part of the games, forcing the African Hockey Federation to hold a separate tournament.[1]
