Preliminary round(Aug. 2018): American Samoa Fiji Vanuatu Solomon Islands Final Tournament(Nov. 2018): New Zealand Papua New Guinea Cook Islands New Caledonia Tonga Tahiti Samoa + preliminary round winner
Any arguments that New Zealand should be bumped to AFC. It's rare in the men's World Cup side they are not the playoff team. Tho during the Brazilian confed cup 2013 the Tahiti team rep-ed OFC
Well, I'd argue that Australia should be bumped back from AFC to OFC again instead, i.e. to the continent they actually belong to. Or the very existence of OFC doesn't make much sense at all.
yeah, just merge the remaining 11 OFC associations with AFC. Then the AFC will have 5 different regions: OFC, ASEAN, WAFF, SAFF & EAFF.
