2004 OFC Nations Cup

The 2004 OFC Nations Cup - which doubled as FIFA World Cup qualifying for the Oceania region [7] - consisted of two rounds. The first round saw six nations compete in a single group where each team played the other once. The top two teams progressed to a home-and-away finals series to determine the winner of the Nations Cup.

Due to a shock 4–2 loss to Vanuatu, New Zealand failed to place in the top two, resulting in Australia taking on the Solomon Islands in the two-legged final, eventually winning 5–1 away and 6–0 at home to claim the title of OFC Champions for a fourth time. [8]

  1. ↑ The New Zealand vs Fiji match was originally scheduled for 13 October 2007, but was postponed by FIFA after Fijian goalkeeper Simione Tamanisau was denied a visa by the New Zealand immigration authorities. The match was first rescheduled to be played in the neutral country of Samoa, [9] [10] but subsequently moved again to Fiji. [11]
