Obviously too early for any fixtures to have been announced for 2024, but a quick look at the schedule expected for next year.
Not sure whether the format has been formalised yet for the FIFA World Cup (OFC) Second Round of qualifiers, but rumours at that there will be two groups of four teams, playing each other once (3 matches) in the October and November International windows, with semi finals and the final scheduled for March 2025.
Another unknown is whether the OFC will bother with another edition of the OFC Nations Cup in June 2024, although unlikely now that the FIFA Confederations Cup has been scraped.
March 2024
- 2x International friendlies.
- Asian teams all heavily involved in World Cup qualifying during this window.
- CONCACAF Nations League semi finals and final during this window, but most other nations available.
- UEFA European Championship playoffs in this window, only involving 12 teams, so others should be available.
June 2024
- OFC Nations Cup?
- Or 2x friendly internationals. Definitely won't be against any African or Asian teams as they all have 2 World Cup qualifiers in this window, while the Copa America and UEFA European Championships starts midway through June. Maybe chance to play Europea teams that don't qualify such as Northern Ireland, Estonia, Iceland etc...
September 2024
- 2x International friendlies in this window.
- UEFA start World Cup qualifying
October 2024
- FIFA World Cup, OFC Second Round Qualifying.
- 2 matches expected, depending on format.
November 2024
- FIFA World Cup, OFC Second Round Qualifying.
- 2 matches expected, depending on format.
