Do 2 qualifying rounds. Rd 1 in Jan with NZ seeded direct to Rd 2 in March. Top 3 island teams from Rd 1 join NZ in one group in March. 3 games each over the 9 day window with top of the table advancing to intercontinental playoff.

No one has to play outside a window.

Boom. 
Yipe to me this is good solution. Problem is Jan window less than 2 months away, and some Island nations (even without heavyweights NZ in their way) will struggle to be ready.

Pandemic bad in PNG. Riots in Solomons. New foreign coaches just arriving in, getting to know the landscape. Can teams travel freely between the OFC nations, ie are the borders even open enough yet? Jan mini tourney could be too early for them.

The squad is subject to change ahead of new head coach Marcos Gusmao arriving in the country later this month, while PNG’s premier men’s competition, the Kumul Petroleum National Soccer League, currently remains suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Hienghene Sport have been crowned the 2021 Super League champions and AS Universite awarded the 2021 Super League Futsal title, after both seasons were officially concluded this week by the New Caledonian Football Federation in the wake of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in the territory.  

Both teams sat atop their respective competitions at the point of the forced suspension of the seasons.

President of the Caledonian Football Federation Gilles Tavergeux said with no clear path out of current restrictions around sport in New Caledonia, it was a decision that had to be made.
