Govind Park, Ba, Fiji

6 - 10 February 2006

Final Standings

The 2006 OFC Club Championships - Preliminary has been completed with Nadi-based United Eagles of Fiji winning the 5-day tournament and booking their ticket to the final competition in New Zealand from 10 - 21 May.

A draw between Polynesian rivals Tuanaimato Breeze of Samoa and Tonga's Lotoha'apai FC was enough to seal qualification for the Eagles, who were held by winless Nikao Sokattak of the Cook Islands in the final match of the competition.

United Eagles will now join the club champions of New Caledonia, New Zealand, and Vanuatu in Group B of the 2006 OFC Club Championships - New Zealand. A second New Zealand side, AS Pirae of Tahiti, Papua New Guinea's Sobou FC, and the Solomon Islands champion club comprise Group A.
