History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". On 9 April 2001, Tonga lost 0–22 to Australia, and the game became the highest scoring FIFA World Cup qualifying match. The match was an Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) first round qualifying match for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.[1][2]
Information
Football in Tonga
Tonga's greatest football triumph to date was their triumph in the first ever Polynesian Cup held in 1993 over Samoa and the Cook Islands. Although local players have not yet made their mark on big leagues abroad, the Chief Executive of the Tonga Football Association, Joe Topou, was appointed to the FIFA Executive Committee in 2002.
In July 2023, Tonga became unranked within the FIFA rankings due to not having played any matches since they lost 8-0 to Papua New Guinea on 18 July 2019.
The second Goal project
Tonga's second Goal project will develop and improve the national football academy and the association's headquarters in Atele, Tongatapu, which was built in the country's first Goal project. This development work has the aim that all of the Tonga Football Association's needs are fully satisfied. Local matches will be held at the football academy, while the administration's requirements, including the needs of players, officials and spectators, will also be covered. The football school will be transformed into a House of Football.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
