The Oceania Football Confederation has officially announced the pool draws for the 2025 OFC Women’s Champions League, setting the stage for an exciting tournament. The Ba women’s football team from Fiji will be competing in Group A, where they will face challenges against Henderson Eels FC from the Solomon Islands, Penama Tigers FC from Vanuatu, and Tupapa Maraerenga FC representing the Cook Islands.
As they step onto the field, the Ba Fijian team aims to advance to the knockout stages, fueling the anticipation for intense matches ahead. In Group B, defending champions Auckland United from New Zealand will lead the pack, along with AS Pirae, the host team, Pansa from American Samoa, and Papua New Guinea’s Hekari Women’s FC—the competition is expected to be fierce as these top clubs vie for the prestigious title.
A total of eight premier clubs will vie for the Oceania title during the tournament, which runs from May 4 to May 17 in Papeete, Tahiti. The overall winner will not only gain regional supremacy but will also secure a spot in the esteemed FIFA Women’s Champions Cup scheduled for 2026, marking an important milestone for women’s football in Oceania.
This year’s tournament mirrors the rising interest and investment in women’s sports across the region, reminiscent of the previous excitement surrounding the OFC Women’s Nations Cup. With earlier successes like Ba Women’s FC’s recent victory over Labasa in the Digicel Women’s Super League, where they ended an extended period of dominance, the upcoming competition presents a hopeful opportunity for all participating teams to showcase their talents.
Fans and supporters are eagerly awaiting the competition, which promises not only thrilling matches but also serves as a vital platform to inspire and support the development of women’s football throughout Oceania. The excitement encapsulates a shared vision of growth, inclusion, and the promising future of female athletes in the region.
