OFC
The Oceania Football Confederation (known as OFC) is the continental governing body of association football in the South Pacific Ocean and is one of FIFA's six continental confederations. It promotes the game in Oceania and allows the member nations consisting of New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, and other Pacific Island countries to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.
OFC is predominantly made up of island nations where association football is not the most popular sport. Consequently, the OFC has little influence in the wider football world, either in terms of international competition or as a source of players for high-profile club competitions. In 2006, the OFC's largest and most successful nation, Australia, left to join the Asian Football Confederation, leaving New Zealand as the largest federation within the OFC. |
The confederation formed in 1966 with the following as founding members:
- Australian Soccer Federation (from 2005: Football Federation Australia) - New Zealand Soccer (subsequently New Zealand Football) - Fiji Football Association - Papua New Guinea Football Association Competitions that OFC currently runs includes 1. OFC Nations Cup 2. OFC Champions League 3. OFC President's Cup 4. OFC Olympic Qualifying Tournament 5. OFC Women's Nations Cup 6. Oceanian Futsal Championship |
