At the XIV Olympic Games in London in 1948 , a competition in hockey (men) was held. For the first time India took part as an independent nation and, in addition, Pakistan, which was newly formed in 1947. Great Britain took advantage of its host role, founded a British hockey association and participated in the Olympic hockey tournament for the first time since 1920. Germany - like Japan - was not allowed to take part in these first Olympic Games after the Second World War .
The finals took place in the main stadium of the Games, Empire Stadium (better known as Wembley Stadium).
Tournament mode
Due to the increased number of participants, the organizing committee extended the tournament from four to nine days and increased the number of venues for the group games from two to three. Of the 16 teams registered, 3 did not start. The 13 participants played in three groups:
- Group A: Argentina, India, Austria, Spain
- Group B: Afghanistan, Great Britain, Switzerland, USA
- Group C: Belgium, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Pakistan
The winners of group A and B, as well as the first and second of group C (1.A - 2.C and 1.B - 1.C) qualified for the semifinals. Third place was played out, not the other placements.
Group A
India won all three group games and advanced to the semi-finals. Spain managed to allow only two goals for the Indians through a tight defense. | ||||

Group B
Great Britain did not get beyond a goalless draw in their first game against strongly defending Switzerland and clearly won the following two games. Just because Switzerland only scored one point against Afghanistan, the hosts were spared a play-off for group victory. At the time, only the points counted, not the goals. | ||||
