KARAMBEU AND FRIENDS TO STAR IN JUBILEE MATCH

OFC’s favourite football son Christian Karembeu will be honoured for his contribution to football in the Oceania region with a jubilee match against his 1998 FIFA World Cup™ winning team at Stade Numa Daly, Noumea, New Caledonia on Saturday 31st May, 2008.

Karembeu has served OFC with distinction both on and off the football pitch and now fans from New Caledonia and children from across Oceania will get their chance to pay tribute to this charismatic character.

The Karembeu Jubilee match is timed to coincide with the OFC Youth Festival tournament that will see hundreds of boys and girls in the under 12 age group participate in a celebration of culture, education and development using the power of football to unite youth across the ‘Ocean of Solidarity’.
 
The Jubilee will also be run in conjunction with the OFC congress where FIFA President Sepp Blatter will be in attendance.
