This loss means Belgium will participate in their first Games since London 2012. Despite a remarkable semi-final win over Team GB, securing a place at Paris 2024, the British team now faces a third-place play-off against Ireland on Saturday to secure their spot in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the qualifying match, Belgium&#8217;s Barbara Nelen scored the opening goal in the first quarter, with Tessa Howard equalizing in the second. Stephanie Vanden Borre&#8217;s goal in the third quarter gave Belgium the lead again, though it was not without controversy. A British player believed the ball had deflected off Alix Gerniers&#8217;s shoulder, which could have led to the goal being disallowed. However, the deflection was not noticed in real time, and the British team was too slow to appeal for a review. As a result, the goal stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BELRedPanthers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@BELRedPanthers<\/a>  are through to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Paris2024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@paris2024<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/enroutetoparis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#enroutetoparis<\/a><br><br>Belgium defeated Great Britain 3-2 to book their berth at the Paris 2024 Olympics.<br><br>?Subscribe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fwIh0CuE2F\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/fwIh0CuE2F<\/a> App to stream all the games LIVE from the FIH Olympic Qualifiers.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hockeybe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@hockeybe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bVeQ8MKAhe\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/bVeQ8MKAhe<\/a><\/p>&mdash; International Hockey Federation (@FIH_Hockey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FIH_Hockey\/status\/1748054917095268587?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 18, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belgium secured a 3-2 victory over Great Britain in women&#8217;s hockey, with Justine Rasir scoring Belgium&#8217;s third goal five minutes before the end. Despite a late goal from Ellie Rayer, it wasn&#8217;t enough for Britain to reverse the outcome. Hollie Pearne-Webb expressed disappointment and frustration with certain aspects of the game but acknowledged the overall performance and highlighted the need to address a few areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spain&#8217;s win over Ireland on penalties secured their eighth appearance in the Olympic Games women&#8217;s hockey tournament, while Belgium is set to feature for the second time. Justine Rasir, named player of the match, expressed happiness and pride in her team&#8217;s performance, noting that after 12 years, it&#8217;s better late than never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it would be surprising if Britain failed to qualify for Paris 2024, given their gold at Rio 2016 and bronze at London 2012 and Tokyo 2020, they now face a third-place play-off against Ireland. Meanwhile, the British men&#8217;s team remains in contention, advancing to the semi-finals with a 6-0 victory over China in their final group stage match. They are set to face New Zealand on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24hscore news Great Britain&#8217;s chances of qualifying for the women&#8217;s hockey tournament at the Olympics took a hit with a 3-2 loss to Belgium.
