Association team allocation

A total of 44 teams from 24 OFC member associations are expected to participate in the OFC Champions League.

The association ranking based on the ELO Ratings is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
  • Associations 4–7 each have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 8–13 each have two teams qualify.
  • Associations 14–24 each have one team qualify.

Association ranking

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

  • (CL) – Additional berth for Champions League title holders
  • (PL) – Additional berth for Pacific League title holders

Final ranking as of 1 January 2022.[1][2]

The access list above is provisional, as changes will be made depending on whether the Champions League and Europa League title holders qualify for the tournament via their domestic leagues. The Champions League title holders always enter directly into the group stage. The Europa League title holders also enter directly into the group stage if either they or the Champions League title holders qualify for the group stage via their domestic leagues (if both teams qualify for the group stage via their domestic leagues, the champions of association 13 enter directly into the group stage). Otherwise, the Europa League title holders enter directly the play-off round, with the route they enter depending on the Champions League title holders:

  • League Route: If the Champions League title holders have qualified for any round of the League Route, or have not qualified for the tournament via their domestic league and are from the associations 1–12 in the access list.
  • Champions Route: If the Champions League title holders have qualified for any round of the Champions Route, or have not qualified for the tournament via their domestic league and are from the associations 13–54 in the access list.

The final access list will then be adjusted accordingly, with teams entering either earlier or later into the competition in order to ensure that the group stage consists of 32 teams and the play-off round consists of 20 teams. UEFA has published a detailed document outlining several possible qualification scenarios,[3] which are also covered in the regulations (Article 3.07).[4]

A total of 18 teams from all 11 OFC member associations enter the competition.

  • The seven developed associations (Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Vanuatu) are awarded two berths each in the group stage.
  • The four developing associations (American Samoa, Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga) are awarded one berth each in the preliminary stage, with the winner and runner-up advancing to the group stage.
