SUVA FC is among the eight teams that have qualified for the Oceania Football Confederation Champions League 2023 in Vanuatu and will know their opponents tomorrow.
The Capital City side will return to the OFC Champions League after a lapse of seven years.
The side last featured in the tournament in 2016 when Suva and Ba hosted the regional tournament. The Whites qualified for the tournament in 2020 but COVID-19 restrictions saw the tournament being called off.
OFC reported the draw will take place at the OFC Home of Football – Te Kahu o Kiwa in Auckland, New Zealand. OFC competitions director Chris Kemp will conduct proceedings.
The report said teams would be drawn from a single pot and would be drawn into two groups of four, Group A and Group B with matches to be played in Port Vila and Luganville.
New Zealand’s Auckland City FC join Fiji’s Suva FC, Papua New Guinea’s Hekari United, Solomon Islands’ Solomon Warriors, Tahiti’s AS Pirae, New Caledonia’s Tiga Sport and Vanuatu’s Ifira Black Bird while Lupe Ole Soaga from Samoa completes the line-up, after their victory in the OFC Champions League 2023 qualifying stage.
