^[1] – Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the African Hockey Federation were forced to cancel the Junior Africa Cup. As a result, Zimbabwe were award the second African quota as they were 2016 runner–up.^[8]

^[2] – 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 China, India, and Japan were awarded the three quota places for the women's tournament. China later withdrew, being replaced by South Korea.^[9]

^[3] – Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Australia and New Zealand decided to cancel the 2021 Junior Oceania Cup. The FIH replaced them with Argentina and Ireland.^[10]

^[4] – Following a rescheduling of the event, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands and Spain withdrew from the tournament. After negotiations with the FIH however, the Netherlands rejoined the competition, with Malaysia, Ukraine and Wales replacing the remaining teams.^[11][12][13]

^[5] – On 1 March 2022, the FIH announced the exclusion of Russia from the event. Following advice from the International Olympic Committee, international sporting bodies were advised to avoid participation of Russian athletes in all sports in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The FIH also offered full support to Ukraine in the hopes they will still be able to participate.^[14] Austria replaced them.^[15]
