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 />
