{{FIFA confederations}}

The '''Oceania Football Confederation''' ('''OFC''') is one of the six continental confederations of international [[association football]]. The OFC has 13 member associations, 11 of which are full members and two which are associate members not affiliated with [[FIFA]]. It promotes the game in [[Oceania]] and allows the [[List of men's national association football teams#OFC (Oceania)|member nations]] to qualify for the [[FIFA World Cup]].

OFC is predominantly made up of island nations where association football is not the most popular sport, with low GDP and low population meaning very little money is generated by the OFC nations. 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. OFC is the only confederation to have not had at least one international title, the best result being Australia making [[1997 FIFA Confederations Cup Final|the final]] of the [[1997 FIFA Confederations Cup]].

In 2006, the OFC's then largest and most successful nation, [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]], left for a second time to join the [[Asian Football Confederation]], leaving [[New Zealand Football|New Zealand]] as the largest federation within the OFC. Since then, New Zealand have served as the dominant force in Oceanian football, winning every FIFA World Cup qualification tournament and all but one OFC Nations Cups in that span. 

OFC runs club competitions such as the [[OFC Men's Champions League|Champions League]] and upcoming [[OFC Professional League|Pro League]], whose inaugural season will begin in January 2026. [[Northern League (New Zealand)|Northern League]] side [[Auckland City FC|Auckland City]] are widely considered to be the most successful club in the region, winning a record 13 Champions Leagues and routinely represent the continent  in the [[FIFA Club World Cup]]. Prior to the establishment of the Pro League, [[Auckland FC]] and [[Wellington Phoenix FC|Wellington Phoenix]] were the region's only professional clubs and have played as expatriate members in Australia's [[A-League Men|A-League]]. In the past year, [[Solomon Islands S-League|S-League]] side [[Real Kakamora F.C.|Real Kakamora]] have established a significantly-sized international fanbase due to their notable on-field results and social media presence and are also considered to be one of the most popular clubs in the region.

The president of OFC is [[Lambert Maltock]] since April 2018. The vice presidents are Thierry Ariiotima, Kapi Natto John and Lord Ve'ehala while Franck Castillo is the general secretary.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/governance/executive-committee/|title=Oceania Football Confederation – OFC Home |publisher=Oceania Football Confederation |access-date=2 February 2022}}</ref> The confederation is headquartered in [[Auckland]], New Zealand.

==History==
[[File:Ngahue Reserve (cropped).jpg|thumb|OFC Home of Football in [[Ngahue Reserve]], Auckland, New Zealand]]

The confederation formed in 1966 with the purpose of representing countries in the Pacific, following Australia and New Zealand's failed attempts to join the [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.footballaustralia.com.au/history | title=The history of football in Australia &#124; Football Australia | date=14 June 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportshistory.club/2asoif13foo7ofc.html |title=Sh - Ofc |publisher=Sportshistory.club |date= |accessdate=2022-01-19}}</ref> The idea of forming a Pacific confederation was first raised in 1964. This proposal was pushed by Sid Guppy of the [[New Zealand|New Zealand Football Association]] (NZFA), [[Jim Bayutti]] of the [[Australian Football Federation|Australian Soccer Federation]] and then-[[FIFA]] president [[Stanley Rous]], with Guppy and Bayutti both being spurred on by the AFC's rejections.<ref name="studies"/> After initial discussions were held in [[Tokyo]] in 1964, [[Scotland|Scottish]]-born [[Charlie Dempsey]] was approached by the NZFA to work with Bayutti in putting together the bid to create the Oceania Football Confederation.<ref name="studies"/> The two garnered enough support for their bid to be approved by FIFA's congress in 1966. The founding OFC members were the following:<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r_Ujf9-TmBUC&q=Oceania+Football+Confederation+formed+in+1966&pg=PA332 |title=A Dictionary of Sports Studies |isbn=019921381X |language=en}}</ref>

* the [[Papua New Guinea Football Association]]

Representatives from [[New Caledonian Football Federation|New Caledonia]] were also involved in the 1966 OFC founding, but New Caledonia could only be a provisional member, as the territory did not have sporting autonomy from [[France]] at that time.<ref name="studies"/>

[[Football Federation Australia#History|Australia resigned as an OFC member]] in 1972 to again pursue membership with the AFC, but rejoined the OFC in 1978, and were never official members of the AFC during the 1970s.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.oceaniafootball.com/index.cgi?sID=23 OFC History] oceaniafootball.com</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Page/straitstimes19760301-1.1.24.aspx |title=Oceania admit Taiwan and Aussies quit |date=1 March 1976 |agency=[[Reuters]], [[UPI]] |work=[[The Straits Times]] }}</ref> After the 1972 departure from the OFC, Lou Gautier of Australian publication ''Soccer World'' said, "[we] have contended from the very start that the conception of an Oceania Confederation was a pipe dream, with no tangible advantages for Australian soccer."<ref name="soft">''Soft Power Politics - Football and Baseball on the Western Pacific Rim''. (2017). United Kingdom: Taylor & Francis.</ref> Bayutti resigned from the OFC in 1970, in preparation for Australia's planned move to the AFC, with Charles Dempsey being appointed OFC acting secretary as a result. Dempsey also served as the head of the New Zealand national body.<ref name="studies"/> Dempsey remained the OFC acting secretary for the next ten years, and he was eventually elected president in 1982. Previous presidents included New Zealanders [[William Walkley]] and [[Jack Cowie]], and Australians Vic Tuting and [[Arthur George]]. Dempsey served as president until 2000, and he convinced smaller Pacific states to join the confederation, including [[Samoa national football team|Samoa]] (in 1986), [[Vanuatu national football team|Vanuatu]] (in 1988), [[Tahiti national football team|Tahiti]] (in 1990), [[Tonga national football team|Tonga]] and the [[Cook Islands national football team|Cook Islands]] (both in 1994) and [[American Samoa national football team|American Samoa]] (in 1998).<ref name="studies">''Routledge Handbook of Football Studies''. (2016). United Kingdom: Taylor & Francis.</ref> Dempsey is currently the last OFC president to have been based in either New Zealand or Australia, with all subsequent presidents having emerged from other countries in the Pacific.

Australia's men's national team (nicknamed the [[Australia men's national soccer team|Socceroos]]) became the first representatives from the area to play at a [[FIFA World Cup]] [[1974 FIFA World Cup|in 1974]], being drawn in the same group as [[Chile national football team|Chile]], [[East Germany national football team|East Germany]] and hosts and eventual champions [[Germany national football team|West Germany]]. They failed to score a goal, but were still competitive in all three of their matches.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/soccer-australia-upbeat-despite-loss-to-brazil/QXQAT4TM2PYBVSV67UQENJDANM/|title=Soccer: Australia upbeat despite loss to Brazil|website=New Zealand Herald|date=16 August 2023 }}</ref> New Zealand's national team the [[New Zealand men's national football team|All Whites]] played in their first World Cup eight years later.

From the 1960s to the early 1980s, OFC countries competed alongside AFC nations in various different mixed World Cup qualifying tournaments. It was not until the [[1986 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC)|1986 qualifiers]] that the OFC had their own distinct qualifying tournament. [[Chinese Taipei Football Association|Chinese Taipei]] was an OFC member from 1975 to 1989. The island state is geographically situated in the north Pacific, off the coast of [[China]], but was a member for political reasons, later joining the AFC.<ref name="wc010">, F. P., Vandome, A. F., McBrewster, J. (2009). ''2010 Fifa World Cup''. Germany, VDM Publishing.</ref> [[Israel Football Association|Israel]] (who were never a member) competed in the [[1986 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC)|1986]] and [[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC)|1990]] OFC World Cup qualifiers for similar political reasons, despite not being located in the Pacific Basin.<ref>''The Business of the FIFA World Cup''. (2022). United Kingdom: Taylor & Francis.</ref> Australia lost several inter-confederation World Cup playoffs throughout the 1980s and 1990s; first to [[1986 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA–OFC play-off)|Scotland in 1985]], then [[1994 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC–CONMEBOL play-off)|Argentina in 1993]] and then [[1998 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC–OFC play-off)|Iran in 1997]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://7news.com.au/sport/soccer/fifa-considering-world-cup-playoff-switch-c-4618366|title=World Cup play-offs to be one-off ties|date=19 November 2021}}</ref> The only time Australia didn't reach the inter-confederation playoff during this period was [[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL–OFC play-off)|in 1989]], when Israel qualified ahead of Australia in the [[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification – OFC second round|second round of OFC qualifiers]], eventually losing to [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]]. The closest of the Australian defeats in the inter-confederation playoffs came against Iran in 1997. Australia were leading 3–1 on aggregate late during the second leg in [[Melbourne]], but their momentum was interrupted when serial pitch invader [[Peter Hore (prankster)|Peter Hore]] entered the ground. They went on to concede two goals in quick succession, failing to qualify on the [[away goals rule]]. FIFA confirmed OFC as a full confederation in 1996, and granted it a seat on the FIFA executive.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/bodies/congress/history/congress-zurich-1996.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130701125309/http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/bodies/congress/history/congress-zurich-1996.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 July 2013 |title=FIFA Congress |publisher=FIFA |access-date=14 March 2017}}</ref> In 1998 the OFC unveiled a new [[logo]] and an official magazine, entitled ''The Wave''.

Australia's record-breaking form in the early stages of qualifying ultimately couldn't be replicated in their [[2002 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC–CONMEBOL play-off)|inter-confederation playoff]] against [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] later that year. For the first leg, the Socceroos managed to defeat the [[South America]]ns 1–0 in front of a Melbourne crowd of 84,656, but they were overwhelmed 3–0 in the away leg. The away leg was marred by an incident at [[Montevideo]]'s airport prior to the game itself, where the Australian players were spat on, punched and abused by a mob of Uruguayan fans.<ref name="smh">{{Cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/socceroos-promised-blanket-security-20051111-gdmf3y.html|title = Socceroos promised blanket security|date = 10 November 2005}}</ref> On 24 May 2004, New Caledonia became the 12th member of the OFC.

Australia reached another [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL–OFC play-off)|inter-confederation playoff]] against Uruguay in late 2005. As well as in 2001, both sides won a game each over the two legs, which led to Australia finally ending their World Cup drought through a dramatic [[penalty shootout]] in [[Sydney]]. The Socceroos were granted increased security for the first away leg, as a response to the 2001 airport incident, and in the second leg the Uruguayan team were heavily booed while their national anthem played.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/soccer/the-other-two-faced-australia-20051118-ge19fc.html|title=The other, two-faced Australia|first=Greg|last=Baum|date=18 November 2005|website=The Age}}</ref> In the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], Australia were eliminated by eventual champions [[Italy national football team|Italy]] during the Round of 16.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dsf.newscorpaustralia.com/theaustralian/subscription/|title=Subscribe to The Australian &#124; Newspaper home delivery, website, iPad, iPhone & Android apps}}</ref> Their 3–1 group stage victory against [[Japan national football team|Japan]] remains the only time a team representing OFC has won at the tournament.

==Criticism==
Throughout its history, there have been numerous calls to either merge the OFC and AFC, or dissolve the OFC and have its members join the AFC, in order to form an Asia-Pacific Football Confederation.

The calls grew louder in 2003 when FIFA reversed a decision to grant Oceania an automatic spot at the World Cup.<ref name="wsc">{{Cite web|url=https://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/18-letter-from/2421-australia--world-cup-is-a-long-way-away|title=Australia – World Cup is a long way away|first=Matthew|last=Hall|website=When Saturday Comes}}</ref> Australia's lack of World Cup participation prior to 2006 has been blamed by many on the OFC qualification process, with football writer Matthew Hall stating in 2003, "For World Cup qualification, the Socceroos will win games by [[cricket]] scores and then face a sudden-death play-off against a desperate, battle-hardened opponent given a second, or even third, life."<ref name="wsc"/> A major reason for Australia's 2006 switch to the AFC was the unpredictable nature of the mandatory inter-confederation playoffs. Australia and New Zealand's 1974 and 1982 qualifications both came in qualifying tournaments where OFC teams were competing alongside AFC teams, and didn't have a playoff with a team from outside these two confederations. When the OFC was given a separate qualification process for the 1986 World Cup, their teams lost five consecutive inter-confederation playoffs (usually against South American nations), with Australia being involved in four of the five losses.<ref name="studies"/> Another reason cited for Australia's move was their dominance against the smaller OFC teams, which was causing political tension within the confederation.<ref name="studies"/> When announcing Australia's move in June 2005, then-FIFA president [[Sepp Blatter]] remarked, "the Oceania delegates have thought for many years that Australia was too powerful and blocked the way of the other 11 countries. Now New Zealand, and the Pacific islands at least have a chance. They can go it alone, I am sure it will be a success."<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2005/0629/193966-australia/|title=FIFA pass Australia's move to Asia|date=29 June 2005|journal=[[RTÉ.ie]]}}</ref>

In 2005, shortly before Australia left the OFC, there was an unsuccessful proposal to merge the AFC and the OFC. The plan was to divide Asia into two distinct confederations. A new Asia-Pacific confederation would have encompassed the OFC nations (including Australia) and AFC nations to the east of [[India]] and [[Bangladesh]], or alternatively, to the east of [[Cambodia]], [[Laos]] and [[Vietnam]]. The [[Japan Football Association|Japanese Football Association]] was said to be keen on the idea of splitting the AFC, but there was resistance from the [[Middle East]]ern countries.<ref>''Routledge Handbook of Football Business and Management''. (2018). United Kingdom: Taylor & Francis.</ref>

The mandatory inter-confederation playoff for the best performed OFC team was finally abolished with the [[2026 FIFA World Cup|2026 World Cup]] and beyond. Beginning with the qualification for the expanded 2026 tournament, the best performed OFC team is granted an automatic World Cup spot, with the second best being given an inter-confederation playoff spot.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/articles/road-to-world-cup-26-qualifiers-usa-canada-mexico|title=FIFA World Cup 26 qualifying: All you need to know|date=9 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc-to-have-1-5-slots-in-2026/|title=OFC to have 1.5 slots in 2026|date=9 May 2017}}</ref>

===Non-members===
==== AFC Members ====
Three associations are geographically in [[Oceania]] but not affiliated with the OFC but are instead members of the [[Asian Football Confederation]]:

* {{fba|AUS}}
* {{fba|Guam}}
* {{fba|Northern Mariana Islands}}

Most of the island states off the Pacific coast of Asia (including [[Indonesia national football team|Indonesia]], [[Japan national football team|Japan]], and the [[Philippines national football team|Philippines]]) had already joined the AFC prior to the formation of the OFC. The island state of Chinese Taipei (also known as Taiwan) was in the OFC throughout the 1970s and 1980s, as a result of Chinese political tensions.<ref name="wc010"/> It had been affiliated with the AFC prior to the OFC move, and eventually rejoined it.<ref name="wc010"/>

==== CONIFA Members ====
Three [[CONIFA]] members are geographically in [[Oceania]] but not affiliated with the OFC nor FIFA as they do not meet membership requirements:

* {{fba|Hawaii}}
* {{fba|Republic of West Papua}}

===FIFA World Cup===
{{main|National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup}}

[[Oceania]] has sent representatives to the [[FIFA World Cup]] four times: [[Australia]] in 1974 and 2006, and [[New Zealand]] in 1982 and 2010. Of these, only Australia in 2006 progressed beyond the first round.

The OFC was previously the only [[FIFA]] confederation that did not have a guaranteed spot in the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] finals. Between 1966 and 1982, OFC teams joined the Asian zone qualification tournament, while from 1986 onwards, the winners of the Oceanian zone qualification tournament had to enter the intercontinental play-offs against teams from other confederations in order to gain a spot in the [[FIFA World Cup]].

Beginning in 2026, the OFC will have a guaranteed spot in the FIFA World Cup for the first time in history, result of the competition's expansion from 32 to 48 teams.
