The Oceania Football Confederation launched its new online learning platform OFC Learn in 2021, which will revolutionise the way people learn across Oceania and in other regions around the world.

Funded by UEFA Assist – UEFA’s programme to support other Confederations and their Member Associations – OFC Learn aims to create a community of learners. 

OFC Learn (which can be accessed at: https://ofclearn.com) will offer different educational resources such as online courses, webinars, a library of articles and community groups to share examples of good practice. 

The launch of the first phase, which will have content added to it on a regular basis, focuses on referee and coach education materials, with OFC Member Associations having access to online courses and informative articles free of charge.
