Pacific Islands Premiership Football- Champions League
OFC – Champions League
The premiership football champions’ league that takes place along the islands outside of Australia is called the Oceania Football Confederation, and it consists of Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and the minor Pacific Island countries. All member nations that participate have the chance to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. The Oceanic Football Confederation is actually the smallest of the six worldwide confederation, and as such has very little influence on the world of “football politics”. Very few high-profile players call these countries their home, and almost no international competition is held within the borders. The premiership football league was formed on the 15th of November in 1966 and has a total of 16 member associations.
How does the OFC – Champions League work?
Being such a small league, the Oceanic Football Confederation sees little action in the fields of football betting. The cups they hold are generally smaller-scale, with the exception being the Champions’ League. Also known as the O-League, the OFC Champions League began in 2007 as the replacement for the Oceania Club Championship. This league is made up of 8 teams, with New Zealand being the most successful (4 wins and 1 runner-up) and Tahiti being the least successful (taking the runner-up position once).
It is worth nothing that the Champions League’s format has changed somewhat. Originally, back when it was known as the Oceania Club Championship, the tournament was played at one location. The clubs played in two groups of four clubs each. The top two clubs from each group played each other in the semi-finals, with those winners going head to head for the grand final. Australia won every time.
With Australia withdrawing to join the Asian Football Confederation though, the Oceania Club Championship was renamed to the Champions League and adopted a new format. Two groups of three clubs per play off in both away games and home games. Both group winners then play twice at each host stadium. The champions then participates in the champion club of the host nation.
Very little action is actually seen within the bounds of the Champions League, and it most often just a formality. The winners are usually quite obvious (able to be picked by their seasonal performance) and audience turnout is usually reserved for the FIFA World Cup. Still, it’s a necessary step to determine which of the 16 countries will advance onto the more note-worthy tournaments.
