The Oceania Football Confederation is exploring the opportunity to play the FIFA World Cup Oceania Qualifiers in Qatar early next year.

It was agreed by the OFC Executive Committee that it was not possible at this time to organise a qualifying competition within the Oceania region.

OFC General Secretary Franck Castillo says finding a way for the qualifiers to go ahead is a priority.

Castillo says despite the issues presented by the pandemic and subsequent border restrictions in our region, they are working hard to ensure these games can still take place.

OFC will provide an update when further information is available.
