Oceania Football Confederation General Secretary Tai Nicholas has moved to clarify speculation regarding Port Vila Sharks possible withdrawal from the 2006/2007 OFC Champions League competition.
“At present, the Port Vila Sharks will be competing in the 2006/2007 OFC Champions League and we have no reason to believe anything different.
However, if Port Vila Sharks were to withdraw from participating there are a number of options open to OFC; possible options could be to include a second NZFC team or one from Papua New Guinea.
The situation is currently under review and a final decision will be made after the OFC Extraordinary Congress in Tahiti, on November 15th, 2006.”
