Four countries confirm their participation in 2007 OFC beach soccer qualifiers

Four countries have confirmed their participation in the OFC beach soccer championship in New Zealand between July 7 and 8, 2007.

They are defending champion Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tahiti and hosts New Zealand.

The new dates will suit the three island nations as some of the players in their beach soccer team are also in their national teams.

OFC Events Manager Seamus Marten says the championship will be played as a league system with the top two teams contesting a final and the winner advancing to represent OFC at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Rio De Janiero.

All participating countries have until 15th June to send in their official list of 10 players and two officials including other details relevant for the competition.
