OFC Asscoiate Members Tuvalu will kick a football in an official OFC competition once again.
That will happen at the OFC Futsal Men’s Cup 2025 in Fiji.
The five-nation tournament will take place from 20–24 September at Suva’s Vodafone Arena.
Over five action-packed days, two matches will be played daily, with each team receiving one bye.
OFC Associate Member Tuvalu are making their long-awaited return to the competition after last appearing in 2011 at the OFC Futsal Championship.
They sit out the opening day before facing New Zealand in their first fixture.
Tuvalu have in recent years participated at the CONIFA World Football Cup in 2018, and in both the Pacific Games and Pacific Mini Games in football.
Tuvalu will be joined in the round-robin format by hosts Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and New Zealand. The tournament winner will be decided on total points accumulated, with goal difference and then goals scored serving as tiebreakers if required.
