There maybe some reason that if OFC selects one of the AM clubs, they need to also select the other. But at face value don't see one. They play in an AFC comp. They are privately owned clubs, that are separate to OFC or even NZF.
I just see OFC wanting a team in Auckland. The biggest transport hub in the Pacific and where OFC are headquartered. I can see them being seduced by the wealth of AFC, who through Foley and Mowbray/Williams may promise some infrastructure spending in OFC. Multi international club pathways etc etc. Maybe a minimum Island player (NZ born Pasika kids) quota.
I'd be surprised on the othe hand, if the other NZ team was not in the South Island. But just all guess work.
