New Zealand has once again emerged as the sole representative of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) in the upcoming Olympics, continuing their streak since 2008. The journey to secure this coveted spot was marked by a series of matches in the OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament held in Samoa's national stadium at Apia.
The eight-team qualification tournament featured New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and American Samoa. Notably, New Caledonia, Tahiti, and the Cook Islands did not participate in this edition.
