Qualification For FIFA World Cup
For the first time in 2007, the Pacific Games formed part of the qualification to the FIFA World Cup (see also Football at the 2007 South Pacific Games).
The Pacific Games were, until 2007, open for teams associated to the Oceania Football Confederation only, for example teams from the Federated States of Micronesia or Tuvalu or provisional members of the NF-Board such as Kiribati.

“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea!
