You can make use of virt-p2v utility to move a guest from vmware player
to ovirt. Boot the
guest from virt-p2v iso and connect it to virt-v2v conversion server and
migrate the virtual
machine.

virt-v2v in general. the new version should support pointing to a file,
so no need for an ESX server. it outputs the results into the ovirt
export domain, then you can import it.
very active work (patches in gerrit) to make this available from the GUI
for 3.6.

Exactly as Itamar says.
(1) Export it to an OVA file.
(2) You will need RHEL or CentOS 7.0 (even a VM), and then to follow
the instructions here:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#resource-requirements
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html
(3) Run virt-v2v by following these instructions:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#output-to-rhev
$ virt-v2v -i ova /path/to/your.ova -o rhev -os server:/esd
(4) Coming soon: point and click import via the GUI.
Rich.

This is the procedure I've used several times from ESXi, should be the
same with any vmdk.
Shutdown guest on ESXi (or use GhettoVCB to make a snapshot backup if you don’t want an
outtage)
NFS copy guest from ESXi server to temp storage somewhere
qemu-img convert guest.vmdk -O raw guest.raw
Create an oVirt guest with the appropriate OS type
Add a disk of the same GB to the guest
After oVirt finishes creating the disk, copy the guest.raw file over the disk image oVirt
made
boot guest and install qemu-agent, ovirt-agent, spice-agent (or better yet, do this before
you shutdown on ESXi)
remove VMware tools.
