The matches will be played at the Vodafone Arena in Suva.
The original location for the event were Solomon Islands and Honiara. However Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) announced on 15 July 2025 that Fiji has been handed hosting rights for the OFC Futsal Men’s Cup 2025 after the tournament was relocated from the Solomon Islands due to logistical issues. [5]
All games were streamed via FIFA+ platform as Fifa+ holds rights for all OFC competitions in the period 2024-2025. [6] The commentary was provided from Satish Narain [7]
Oceania Football, website of governing body OFC and independent website Friends of Football NZ provided game reports and tournament news.[ citation needed ]
Unlike in previous versions of the tournament, the 2025 tournament features a purely round robin format, with the champion being decided directly from the round robin stage, without a later final playoff. [8] As five teams are playing, there will be five two-game rounds, with one team taking a by in each round. The rounds will take place on five consecutive days from Saturday 20 September to Wednesday 24 September.
The draw deciding the matches took place on 19 August 2025 at the OFC Home Of Football in Auckland, New Zealand. [9]
