Nice to see. From memory the OFC Pro League is pausing for the March FIFA window.

Hopefully with most of their team playing together regularly as the Kings, SI do okay. A full strength Indonesia in Jakarta would be tough.

Following the announcement of the expanded format in November 2025, the FIFA Series 2026 will feature 48 national teams competing in 12 groups of four teams each during the international match window in March and April. With 48 participating teams, representing almost 25% of FIFA’s 211 Member Associations, nearly a quarter of the global football community will take part in the FIFA Series.

The confirmed hosts for the men’s groups are Australia, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Rwanda and Uzbekistan. The women’s contests will take place in Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire and Thailand.

From OFC, New Zealand will host Finland, Chile and Cape Verde.

The Solomon Islands will compete in a group with Bulgaria, St Kitts and Nevis and hosts Indonesia.

American Samoa will play in a group with hosts Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands and fellow Pacific nation Guam.

One unnamed OFC women’s team will be competing in a group with hosts Thailand, Nepal and Congo DR.
