OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament
The OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament is an association football tournament held once in four years to decide the only qualification spot of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) and representatives at the Olympic Games.
The tournament was first held in 2004. In 1996 no OFC team took part at the Olympics, in 2000 Australia were given the spot as hosts.[1]
Format
In 2004 three teams played a round robin. In the two following editions, after Australia had left the Oceanic Confederation to Asia, all teams but New Zealand play a tournament. The winner then plays a play-off for the Olimpics spot against New Zealand, Oceania's highest ranked team in the FIFA Women's World Rankings.
