• Oceanian Nations Cup 2024

    From Mark@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 12 11:51:51 2024
    Never mind the European Championship, or the Copa America, which
    doesn't start till June 20. The big one, the Championship of the
    continent, the Championship of more than a continent if you consider Australasia as a whole continent, the Championship of Oceania, starts
    on June 15.

    Co-hosts: Fiji and Vanuatu. There only seem to be 2 stadiums being
    used. The one in Fiji has a capacity of 15,000, the one in Vanuatu has
    a capacity of 6,500.

    The reigning Champions are New Zealand, who have been Champions for 8
    years now as the tournament was never played in 2020.

    Apparently matches are being streamed on FIFA+.

    It's been spoilt somewhat by the withdrawal of New Caledonia because of
    social unrest in the country. Wouldn't they have been one of the teams
    most likely to seriously challenge New Zealand ?

    The semi-finals are

    New Zealand v Tahiti: the 2 former Champions playing each other

    5-0

    and
    Fiji v Vanuatu: the 2 host countries playing each other, in Vanuatu.

    Fiji 1 Vanuatu 2

    Vanuatu v New Zealand in the Final.

    I think we're projecting New Zealand to win the Oceanian nations Cup.

    What an inspired pick. Who would have guessed?

    New Zealand without some of their best players
    (no Chris Wood) wins the competition with an
    aggregate score of 15-0.

    It was fun the one time that Tahiti qualified for
    the Confed Cup, but with even that prize no longer
    available I think nobody should feel bad for not giving
    the competition more than one glance. It would
    just make so much more sense to subsume the entire
    federation within AFC.

    Yay! My 18th favourite national team are Champions of Oceania!

    It's the Championship of a continent though. I don't understand why it
    got so little media attention.

    Wouldn't the distances between west Asia and east Oceania be too big?
    Maybe split Asia in 2 and have a West Asian Nations Cup and an East
    Asian and Oceanian Nations Cup?

    How are the Rugby confederations set? Is there an Oceania confederation?
