The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) has launched Club Licensing Regulations for the OFC Professional League.
The 2027 edition of the OFC Pro league competition will not be extended to new clubs; however, if any of the clubs that participated in the 2026 edition of the OFC Pro League do not obtain a license for the 2027 edition, clubs holding the Pathway Certificate may be invited to participate in the licensing process.
The rules to submit an Expression of Interest (deadline 9 June 2026) and to participate in the Pathway Certificate granting process, as well as deadlines and restrictions, are set out in the OFC Club Licensing Regulations, in Annex 1. READ HERE
It must be clear that the granting of the Pathway Certificate does not, in any way, imply a license to participate in the OFC Pro League 2027, but it allows the club the possibility to be invited to participate in the application process to obtain a license in case of vacancy.
For more information regarding the rules, deadlines, and restrictions for participation in the Pathway Certificate process, please contact the respective Member Association.
