The draw for the OFC Women’s Champions League 2025 has been officially announced, setting the stage for an exciting tournament. The Fijian team will compete against Henderson Eels FC from the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu’s Penama Tigers FC, and Tupapa Maraerenga FC from the Cook Islands during the group stage.
Defending champions Auckland United from New Zealand will lead Group B, which includes the host-nation team AS Pirae, Pansa from American Samoa, and Hekari Women’s FC from Papua New Guinea.
This tournament is critical as it represents the pinnacle of women’s club football in Oceania, with eight top clubs vying for the championship title. The tournament will run from May 4 to May 17 in Papeete, and the winner will earn a spot at the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup.
This development not only underscores the growing interest in women’s football across the region but also aligns with the positive momentum seen in previous competitions, such as the OFC Women’s Nations Cup 2025, which will also see Fiji host teams from various nations, further emphasizing their commitment to developing women’s sports.
As teams prepare for intense competition, there is a collective hope that these events will inspire more female athletes and raise the profile of women’s football in Oceania, making it a vital stepping stone for participants in their athletic careers. The anticipation surrounding the tournament illustrates a shared excitement among teams, fans, and supporters of women’s sports.
