The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) proudly presented the transformative OFC Professional League at the prestigious World Football Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a landmark moment for football in the Pacific.
Led by OFC General Secretary Franck Castillo, the presentation highlighted how the OFC Professional League is set to revolutionise football across the region. As the first professional league of its kind in Oceania, it represents a bold step forward in creating an aspirational environment for clubs and players, inspiring youth, and paving the way for professional opportunities.
The league’s scope spans across the Pacific, with expansion into Australia and Hawaii, offering connectivity to Asia and the U.S. It aligns with OFC’s strategic pillars of development, education, and high performance, focusing on professionalising the sport, improving infrastructure, and driving socio-economic impact through commercial partnerships and community engagement.
The presentation underscored the league’s broader vision—not just about football, but about uniting communities, fostering talent, and inspiring dreams across Oceania. This initiative is a significant milestone in OFC’s journey to elevate football and build a legacy that benefits players, fans and communities alike.
The OFC Professional League is poised to take football in the Pacific to unprecedented heights, leaving a lasting impact on the global stage.
