At the 1980 Summer Olympics (officially: Games of the XXII Olympiad ) in the Soviet capital Moscow , two hockey competitions were held for the first time : In addition to the men's tournament, a women's tournament was also held. Due to the boycott of most western countries, the world's best teams were missing except for India and Spain.

The games were played in the Small Sports Arena Dynamo and in the Young Pioneers Stadium. The small sports arena was completely renovated for the two hockey tournaments and had 10,000 seats. The Stadium of the Young Pioneers was given artificial turf and modernized. In addition to the existing grandstand with 3,000 seats on the south side, a temporary grandstand with 2,000 seats was built on the opposite side.

A tournament with 12 participants was planned for the men. The first eight of the 1978 World Championships were nominated by Pakistan, the Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Spain, India, Great Britain and Argentina, as well as the defending champions New Zealand, the host Soviet Union, Kenya from Africa and Malaysia from Asia. With the exception of Spain, India and the Soviet Union, all hockey associations canceled. Of the seven substitute teams, only Poland accepted. Finally, Tanzania and Cuba were invited, a total of half the field of participants from six nations. Spain renounced its national flag and competed under the Olympic rings.

Tournament mode

Due to the small number of participants - as with the women - a simple "everyone against everyone" round was played. This resulted in a table in which the best 2 played the final, the third and fourth placed the game for 3rd place and the last two the game for 5th place.

In addition to the host Soviet Union, five nations were nominated for the first women's Olympic tournament: the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, New Zealand and the USA. These all canceled. Finally came Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland, India and Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe , formerly Rhodesia , had become independent on April 18, 1980, the Zimbabwean hockey federation was only subsequently incorporated into the world hockey federation FIH . The team had only been put together in May 1980 when the FIH was looking for participants and consisted exclusively of white players. The player- coach Anthea Stewart had previously made 25 international matches, some for South Africa. The team finished the tournament without defeat and won the gold medal. After the games, the team fell apart.
