WELCOME SCHEDULE<br />

It is with great pleasure that we welcome<br />

you to the <strong>2010</strong> O-League — a competition<br />

which has grown, developed and improved<br />

with each passing year.<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

The <strong>2010</strong> O-League promises to be an exciting contest with the<br />

champion clubs of Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New<br />

Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti and Vanuatu all fighting for the<br />

Oceania crown.<br />

Now in its fourth season, the O-League has expanded from six to<br />

eight teams reflecting the growing popularity of the competition and<br />

enabling more OFC member associations to take part.<br />

With New Caledonia and Tahiti added to the mix, football can reach an even wider audience and<br />

capture the imagination of a new generation of fans.<br />

Media coverage of the <strong>2010</strong> O-League is set to increase dramatically after ground-breaking deals<br />

between OFC and broadcasters in each of the participating nations.<br />

OFC will work closely with Triangle and Stratos Television in New Zealand to edit all the action from each<br />

round of the competition into highlights packages to be distributed and aired around the region.<br />

Radio stations will provide domestic audiences with analysis of the competition while our print media<br />

friends, who made the 2009 O-League front page and back page news in the majority of our member<br />

associations, will also ensure extensive coverage.<br />

oceaniafootball.com will follow the progress of the <strong>2010</strong> O-League closely and provide “live” match<br />

experience for internet users where possible with the help of a dedicated group of media officers,<br />

correspondents and member association staff.<br />

With the <strong>2010</strong> O-League set to beam out across the region, Oceania club football has come a long way<br />

considering there was little or no coverage of the very first OFC Club Championship in 1999.<br />

The 2009 season was a huge success with closely fought contests in both groups and a cumulative<br />

audience of around 80,000 fans across 14 games.<br />

This season is expected to have even more twists and turns as the eight teams do battle for a place<br />

at the FIFA Club World Cup <strong>2010</strong>.<br />

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants on and off the pitch for their hard work in<br />

making the <strong>2010</strong> O-League a memorable tournament.<br />

Yours in football<br />

Reynald Temarii<br />

HISTORY OF THE OFC CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP<br />

1999 oFc club championship – Fiji<br />

South Melbourne won the right to represent OFC at the FIFA Club World<br />

Championship in Brazil the following year. The Australian club put in three brave<br />

performances losing to Manchester United 0-2, Mexican club Necaxa 1-3 and<br />

Brazilian giants Vasco de Gama 0-2.<br />

2001 oFc club championship – pNG<br />

Wollongong Wolves were crowned OFC Club Champions after winning a gripping<br />

final 1-0 against Vanuatu club Tafea who had stunned New Zealand favourites<br />

Napier City Rovers 4-2 in the semi-finals. Wollongong was unable to represent<br />

Oceania at the FIFA World Club Championships due to its cancellation that year.<br />

2005 oFc club championship – tahiti<br />

After a four-year hiatus the OFC Club Championship was reintroduced. Australian<br />

club Sydney FC beat New Caledonians AS Magenta 2-0 in the final.<br />

At the FIFA Club World Cup Sydney FC performed admirably beating CAF champions<br />

Al-Ahly before losing to CONCACAF champions Deportivo Saprissa 1-0 in the<br />

quarter-finals.<br />

2006 oFc club championship – New Zealand<br />

This year signalled the end of Australian involvement in the Oceania competition<br />

as Australia joined the Asian Football Confederation.<br />

Two times NZFC champs Auckland City FC won the final 3-1 against Tahiti’s AS<br />

Pirae. Auckland City then competed at the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan where<br />

they finished sixth.<br />

HISTORY OF THE OFC CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP<br />

2007 o-League<br />

The structure and title of the competition was altered to a home and away<br />

format featuring two groups of three teams. Group A saw Waitakere United and<br />

Auckland City both take comfortable wins over AS Mont Dore of New Caledonia.<br />

Waitakere progressed to the final due to superior goal differential and Fijian club<br />

Ba comfortably progressed from Group B. The Auckland-based side qualified for<br />

the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan on the away goals rule after the final aggregate<br />

was tied 2-2 with Ba. Waitakere then lost 3-1 to Iranian team Sepahan at the FIFA<br />

Club World Cup.<br />

2008 o-League<br />

New Zealand’s two powerhouses again dominated Group A with Waitakere edging<br />

out their arch rivals to make the final. Solomon Island club Kosso FC became that<br />

country’s first O-League finalist and shocked Waitakere with a 3-1 first leg win in<br />

Honiara. With their backs against the wall Waitakere stepped up in the return leg<br />

at Douglas Field taking a resounding 5-0 win to end Kosso’s FIFA Club World Cup<br />

hopes and retain their Oceania champions title. Waitakere were again eliminated<br />

from the Club World Cup in the first round play-off, losing a tense 2-1 match<br />

against A-League club Adelaide United.<br />

2009 o-League<br />

Going into its third year, the 2009 O-League was as intriguing as ever with both<br />

groups going down to the final match to determine the finalists. Auckland City FC<br />

finished three points clear of cross-town rivals Waitakere United in Group A while<br />

Solomon Islands’ Koloale FC edged out Hekari United FC in Group B to advance<br />

through to the home-and-away final. But Auckland City proved too strong winning<br />

7-2 in the first-leg at Honiara’s Lawson Tama Stadium before Koloale regained<br />

some pride with a 2-2 draw. The FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2009 now awaits<br />

Auckland City.
