Notes
- England withdrew on 5 October 2021.[5]
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the African Hockey Federation had decided to cancel the 2021 Men's Junior Africa cup for Nations and 2021 Women's Junior Africa cup for Nations. Thus AfHF designed a system to 2016 Junior Cup.[6]
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Hockey Federation had decided to cancel the 2021 Men's Hockey Junior Asia Cup and 2021 Women's Hockey Junior Asia Cup. Thus AHF designed a system to decide who earns the quota place for Asia. Where in the end Pakistan, Malaysia, and South Korea were awarded the three quota places for the men's tournament.[7]
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Australia and New Zealand decided to cancel the 2021 Junior Oceania Cup. The FIH replaced them with Canada and the United States.[8]
