OFC RELEASE: The men’s and women’s match schedules for the 2003 South Pacific Games football tournament have been released by the host organisers in Fiji.

The men’s tournament runs from 30 June – 11 July with all matches rotated amongst four venues. The gold/silver and bronze medal playoff matches will be staged at the National Stadium in Suva. The teams have been divided into two pools; Pool 1 containing five teams including the hosts Fiji while Pool 2 has a five team line-up headed by 1995 South Pacific Games gold medallist Tahiti. The winner and runner up from each pool will advance to the semi-finals which will be hosted at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

The women’s tournament runs from 30 June – 9 July and will be contested by six teams in a round robin format over five match days spread amongst two venues.

This year’s event will be hosted in Suva, Fiji and runs from 28 June to 12 July. Football was last included in the Games format in 1995 when it was hosted by Tahiti.
