OCEANIA ALL STARS - TELEVISION COVERAGE (OCEANIA)

Friday, 05 December 08, 06:11 PM

AUCKLAND - Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), Auckland Regional Council (ARC), Sky Television New Zealand (Prime Television), Fiji TV and Sky Pacific and all "Beautiful Game" associated partners are pleased to announce the live broadcast details of Oceania All Stars vs. LA Galaxy.

Thirteen broadcasters from around the region will take live coverage of this groundbreaking event from Mount Smart Stadium, Penrose, Auckland, as a squad of players from around Oceania plus invited guest players from Australia and Netherlands take on the stars from Major League Soccer (MLS) to help raise funds for Kids Can, John Walker Field of Dreams and promote OFC Football for Life.

OFC General Secretary Tai Nicholas said the match would create television and football history around the Oceania region.

"The fact we have thirteen of our regional broadcasters taking this match live is historic in itself. The Karembeu Jubilee match in Noumea was distributed delayed.

We at OFC are delighted to bring our regions footballers together like this, but even happier the people in the countries will be able to see them alongside the LA Galaxy, Christian Karembeu, Mark Bosnich and Edgar Davids.," Nicholas said.

The broadcast will reach a potential audience of just over 6 million people.

OFC Media and Communications Officer Gordon Glen Watson said New Caledonia had the option of taking a tape of the match delayed.

"At this stage the technology to bring the match live to New Caledonia is not in place. However, Fiji TV and RFO are in dialogue about solving this problem as a result of this event - that is a strong indication of the power and attraction of football in our region," Watson said.

Live internet audio broadcast of this match is available at www.radiosport.co.nz

    quote" that is a strong indication of the power and attraction of football in the region."
    and the power of brotherhood shared among all Island nations, this is a common mark throughout the
    pacific, 'oneness.' This makes me proud to be an islander. NZ fit in well, remain with oceania and don't follow the road Australia had travelled. Love you all!!!

    congrats OFC and your regional media partners for making it possible for fans from around our islands to be able to see our tallents up against the classic LA's from US. to the oceania squad, we
    can't wait to see the ball at the back of LA's net. but remember, you're up against Becks, don't easily give him free kicks around the box. best of luck to both teams..

    Coldrine when u wrote that message the game was already over about 2 hours ago. Apaarently they dont show games in the islands in "island time". Soloman777 the only "oneness" i saw was edgar
    davids hogging the ball and hes definitely not an islander. selby why u gotta wreck my week for??

    kurtisjames, if i may not be mistaken, your previous posting was removed from this page..why are you so bitter at everything when all that some of us want to do is to create a constructive forum,
    where comments are to help and build the oceania region in terms of football. It seems that you are already so critical even before you decided to go and watch this game. Well bro, it is a choice
    you have made and some of us have nothing to do with it. Merry Christmas!!..oooo...and by the way, There is oneness in oceania!!! God bless!!!

    soloman777 what are u goin on about? hmm? what? huh? when? i watched the game...thats why im so bitter..im glad u wanna make this all about ur stupid oneness but apparently alot of players didnt
    play...im just pointin that out...who subs players in at 89th min..it was an exhibition game was it not?! hmm?? wasnt it?? huh?? u meanim?? and tictac we wont get them one day coz this match will
    never happen again and thats why im fumin. u meanim? all i wanted to do was see everyone get game time...not to watch 90 mins of crappy soccer from the same crappy players that started the game.
    u do realise they had no shots at goal the whole game dont u!? the whole game there was not a single shot on target?! try one shot at goal b4 u talk about ur oneness at least sub in everyone so
    its not a complete waste...no wonder becks gave his jersey to a girl n not a player. MERRY XMAS!!

    See? kurtisjames,you still couldn't get over, it could you? Fisrtly, the pacific is not a continent and we have to realise and acknowledge the fact that to bring players together from different
    nations(from the pacific)is a challenge of its own, but their being together in a team brings in itself the message of oneness which is the basis of why OFC run this event. Try living in Asia,
    Europe, Africa or the Americas to know what I mean. This justify your grunts about 'oneness.'Secondly, exhibition game or not, a game is always a game, someone have to win, and both sides wanted
    a win. I don't think Selby would say, ok, because this is an exhibition game, it doesn't matter if we win or lose, I'll give you all equal chances to play...that would be so unrealistic. You
    can't just do that especially when you are up against a proffessional team, let alone , David Beckham.

    thirdly, we have to acknowledge the diffrence of standard between these two teams, the countries from which the players come from, the leagues from which the players are playing, the experience
    each individual player have and more importantly how long you have been playing together as a team. Count all these facts and we will see that Oceania all stars are in for a humiliating game.
    That is why i do commend the oceania all stars. Fourthly, just becuase we sit comfortably from a stadium or a tv and made comments about a teams weaknesses doesn't mean that they didn't do their
    best, If only we, the ones who are always barking from the sidelines go in and try a shot at goal!, no, we are even ages away from the oceania all stars. kurtis james, why don't we put this topic
    to rest now and enjoy the coming festive season..Merry Christmas bro!!

    firstly when a team is doing terrible aka down 3-0 u sub players try to change the flow of the game??u meanim?? thats a managers job.kk?secondly no matter who ur opponent is theres always a
    chance ull win if u make the right decisions?kk?now yes la galaxy are good but guess wat they arent that good...oceania have a lot of talent, plenty that were sidelined?? kk??listen carefully
    this is where it gets tricky??if a team is down 3-0 and u have a lot of talent on the bench being wasted??instead of tryin to change the pace with all the tired players that havent been able to
    do anything (dont get me wrong they tried their best :)the only logical thing to do is wait for it.wait for it.whats that thing weve got plenty of??hmm??oh yeah those 11 guys who can play just as
    good or even better being wasted on the side??hey maybe we shud sub them in DING DING DING correct answer YAYY!!

    ok, you are right kurtis james, I am just a person trying to enjoy something that some people had put their entire effort into accomplishing. I just want people to enjoy the game for what it is
    called, I'm in no mood to continue this brother kurtis, it's just not my way of socialising. God bless you brother and have a merry Christmas.

    It was not the best of games, but it was historical. Although the ARC lost money from the gatetaking, I am impressed with the following broadcasters for the live feed.

    American Samoa

    -Pacific Channel Samoa
    American Samoa - Pacific Island Cable
    Cook Islands - Cook Islands Television
    Kiribati - Television Kiribati Ltd
    New Zealand - Prime Television/Sky
    Television
    Niue
    - Broadcasting Corporation of Niue
    Papua New Guinea - EMTV (Media New Guinea Limited)
    Solomon Islands - One News Ltd/Solomon Telekom Co. Ltd
    Tonga - Tonga Broadcasting
    Commission
    Tonga -
    TONFON Entertainment Ltd
    Vanuatu - Vanuatu Broadcasting & TV Corp
    Samoa - Samoa Broadcasting Corporation

    These broadcasters should be applause for a work well
    done. If OFC considers a "One Confederation, One Professional League" in the future like the Rugby Super 14 shadow format, then these broadcasters maybe key.
