Vanuatu

Vanuatu

The Vanuatu national football team represents the Pacific island nation in international football under the governance of the Vanuatu Football Federation, a member of FIFA and the OFC (Oceania Football Confederation). Vanuatu competes in OFC Nations Cup qualifiers and FIFA World Cup Oceania qualifying rounds. The team has achieved modest regional success, participating in OFC tournaments and facing stronger nations like New Zealand and Australia. Football is the most popular sport in Vanuatu, with the game played across the archipelago's islands. Despite limited financial resources and infrastructure, the federation has worked to develop grassroots football. Home matches are typically played at Korman Stadium in Port Vila, which holds approximately 10,000 spectators.
