The 2022 OFC Women's Nations Cup will be the 12th edition of the OFC Women's Nations Cup (also known as the OFC Women's Championship), the quadrennial international football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the women's national teams of the Oceanian region. The tournament will be held in TBC.
The tournament will serve as the Oceanian qualifiers to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, with the champions qualifying for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, besides New Zealand who qualified automatically as a co-host.[1]
New Zealand are the defending champions.
Format[edit]
The format will follow:
- Qualifying stage: The four lowest-ranked teams based on previous regional performances of all women's national teams (American Samoa, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji) will enter the qualifying stage, which will be held in August 2022 in TBA. The winner will qualify for the final tournament, joining the other seven teams which automatically qualified.
- Final tournament: A total of eight teams will play in the final tournament, which will be held in Late 2022 in TBA. For the group stage, they will be divided into two groups of four teams. The top two teams of each group will advance to the knockout stage (semi-finals and final) to decide the winner of the OFC Women's Nations Cup that will qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup as well as the Olympic football tournament.
The draw for the tournament was held sometime in 2022 at the OFC Headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand. In both the qualifying stage and final tournament, the hosts and two other teams will be assigned to position A1 in the draw, while the remaining teams will be drawn into the other positions without any seeding.
Qualification[edit]
The OFC Women's Nations Cup once again is a compulsory tournament, so all 11 OFC member national teams will enter the tournament.
