Oceania Football Shirts and Accessories
From the continental region of Oceania we stock football shirts for both Australia and New Zealand. Australia is actually a member of the Asian Football Federation choosing to leave the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) in 2006 in order to participate in more competitive matches. To date New Zealand remains within the OFC, however, it has been agreed that they can join the South American confederation of CONMEBOL should they apply.
Wearing your team’s football shirt is the ideal way of supporting the team as well as the growth of football throughout the Oceania region. We stock authentic jerseys for both Australia and New Zealand. We are supplied directly by the manufacturer offering you the opportunity to purchase official merchandise at a great price. We offer worldwide shipping options, and tax free shopping outside the EEC, so take a look at the products available and place your order online today.
The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC)
The OFC is made up of small islands, in which football is not a predominant sport, and therefore the OFC has little power in the worldwide game. The OFC organizes World Cup qualification games for members as well as the four yearly OFC Nations Cup tournaments.
The Oceania Football Confederation is made up of small islands, in which football is not a predominant sport. Therefore the OFC has very little power when it comes to achieving a high ranking in the worldwide games like the FIFA World Cup. But prior to the global tournament, the OFC organises a set of World Cup qualification gamed for its members along with their OFC Nations Cup tournaments.
When looking at how the Oceania countries have performed in the World Cup, we can see that they most certainly struggled in most recent years. However, in 1974 and 2006 Australia managed to reach the World Cup finals, securing a Round of 16 spot. New Zealand had also qualified twice in 1982 and 2010, but never managed to get past the group stage. Passion for football in both Australia and New Zealand runs high, with support from their respective national teams gaining in momentum throughout qualifying tournaments and play-off fixtures.
As previously mentioned above, the OFC Nations Cup is played every four years, however prior to 2006 it took place every two. When reviewing the results of this tournament we can see that only three countries have ever won the tournament. The most successful of these are New Zealand who has been crowned champions on 5 occasions, and considering there have only been 10 tournaments this is quite the achievement. Although they are now exempt from the OFC after moving to the AFC, Australia is the second most successful team in the cup. They have taken the trophy four times in total. And finally, the last country to win was Tahiti who gained the title once. Here is a breakdown of these results:
- New Zealand – 1973, 1998, 2002, 2008, 2016
- Australia – 1980, 1996, 2000, 2004
- Tahiti – 2012
