2002 Women's Hockey Champions Challenge

2002 Women's Hockey Champions Challenge

The first edition of the Women's Champions Challenge took place at the "Randburg Hockey Stadium" in Johannesburg, South Africa. The event started on Saturday February 9 and ended on Sunday February 17.

Originally scheduled for New Delhi, India in December 2001 as a combined men's and women's event, the first Women's Champions Challenge was eventually moved to Randburg in February 2002 as a result of regional international situations at the time. Participating nations at the six nations tournament were England, India, Russia, hosting nation South Africa, South Korea and the United States.

Each of the six teams play each other once in a round robin format to complete five preliminary round games. The top two teams at the end of the preliminary round matches play off in the final, with the winner earning a berth in the 2003 Champions Trophy in Sydney, Australia. The 3rd and 4th placed teams play for the bronze medal, while the 5th and 6th placed teams meet in the 5th place play-off.
