2024 OFC Champions League group stage explained
The 2024 OFC Champions League group stage was played from 11 to 20 May 2024.[1] A total of 8 teams competed in the group stage to decide the four places in the knockout stage of the 2024 OFC Champions League.[2]
Draw
The draw of the group stage took place at OFC Home of Football in Auckland, New Zealand on 17 January 2024.[3] [4] The 8 teams were drawn into two groups of four. None of the teams were known at the time of the draw.
Format
The four teams in each group played each other on a round-robin basis at two centralised venues in Tahiti.[1] The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the semi-finals of the knockout stage.
Schedule
Originally, each group was scheduled to host their matchdays on the same day, however flight cancellations for Ifira Black Bird meant the schedule was changed twice to accommodate all their matches.[5] [6] The final schedule for each matchday is shown below:[7]
