The OFC Men’s Nations Cup 2024 will feature an exciting match between the four semifinalists: Tahiti, Vanuatu, Fiji, and New Zealand.
Tahiti is aiming for its first final spot since its historic victory in 2012, but it faces a tough challenge from the defending champions, New Zealand. In the other semifinal, hosts Vanuatu will take on Fiji, who are coming off strong performances in the group stage.
The first match will be a rematch of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying tournament, where New Zealand narrowly defeated Tahiti. Tahiti’s captain, Teaonui Tehau, acknowledges the challenge of facing New Zealand but is hopeful for support from local fans.
Meanwhile, Vanuatu, led by captain Brian Kaltak, is determined to make history by reaching their first OFC Men’s Nations Cup final, with strong backing from their home fans.
On the other hand, Fiji is a formidable team, having scored 15 goals and conceded only one in the group stage. Their top scorer, Roy Krishna, is confident in their ability to perform well in the semifinal. Vanuatu and Fiji are chasing their own history, aiming to secure a spot in the final.
