Beach Soccer

Beach Soccer is a unique sport – one that provides excitement and imagery that can’t be matched elsewhere in football.

The south Pacific provides a perfect backdrop for Beach Soccer, producing talented teams and players that perform admirably on the international stage.

OFC hosts the OFC Beach Soccer Nations Cup, with the most recent tournament being held in 2026 in Papeete, Tahiti. Solomon Islands and Tahiti jointly hold the record for most wins, with four Nations Cup victories each.

The competition also serves as a qualifier for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup™.  Tahiti have twice played in the final of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup (2015 and 2017) – the only team from OFC to participate in a FIFA World Cup™ final at any level.

Education

OFC has a range of tailor-made beach soccer development and performance workshops available to Member Associations.

The workshops cover a range of topics including:

• Introduction to beach soccer
• Extending the season with beach soccer
• National team participation in OFC tournaments

Programmes

Beach soccer provides member associations with an exciting and enjoyable platform to extend the football season, and introduce boys, girls, men and women to new skills and experiences to enhance their love of the ‘beautiful game’.

OFC’s football division provides a range of programmes designed to provide more opportunities to enjoy this unique sport and to create a new generation of players who will continue to fly the OFC flag proudly in the increasingly competitive world of international beach soccer.
