Update from OFC. As above I don't think a March 2022, OFC tourney will be great for the AWs. January I think would be better.

Hopefully Intercontinental Playoffs would be played in the later half of June, allowing at least 1 quality warmup friendly in late May/early June - like the Socceroos if they are not involved in the Playoffs themselves (as they were in 2017), and the AWs have their first playoff leg at home. So could bring Socceroos across the pond for a good warmup game, in midst of a nice long 2 week camp in NZ.

And NZF will definitely need to somehow book some pre Xmas MIQ spots for NZ based AWs staff including Hay, if they secure some Oct/Nov friendlies. They won't be hanging around up north until March!

In response to logistical challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Oceania Football Confederation is exploring the opportunity to play the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ – Oceania Qualifiers in Qatar early next year.

On September 15 agreement was reached by the OFC Executive Committee that it was not possible at this time to organise a qualifying competition within the Oceania region.

Following prior extensive discussions between OFC, AFC and FIFA, the OFC Executive Committee approved that the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ – Oceania Qualifiers be played in Qatar in March 2022, pending further FIFA approval.
