The 2017 OFC Youth Futsal tournament was the first edition of the OFC Youth Futsal Tournament (also known as the OFC U-18 Futsal Tournament), the youth international futsal championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the men's and women's national under-18 teams of Oceania. The tournament was held at the Bruce Pulman Arena in Auckland, New Zealand between 4–7 October 2017. [1]

Contents

The winners of both the men's and the women's competition – with the exception of New Caledonia who are not an Olympic nation – would directly qualify for the futsal tournament at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina. [2] However the qualifying teams cannot be from the same Member Association, so where a country has entered both the men’s and women’s events, the Member Association must nominate their preferred qualification team. It was the first time in Oceania footballs' history that a men's and a women's tournament has been combined.

Teams

Men's

A total of seven (out of 11) OFC members entered the tournament. [1]

Notes

Women's

A total of five (out of 11) OFC members entered the tournament, [1] but two teams withdrew prior to the draw. The Auckland Football Federation were also invited to compete.

Notes

Squads

Venue

The matches were played at the Bruce Pulman Arena in Auckland.
