Add article description

The OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament is an association football tournament held once in four years to decide the only qualification spot of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) and representatives at the Olympic Games.

The tournament was first held in 2004. In 1996, no OFC team took part at the Olympics, in 2000, Australia were given the spot as hosts.[1]

Format

In 2004, three teams played a round robin. After Australia had left the Oceanic Confederation to Asia, all teams but New Zealand play a tournament. The winner then plays a two-legged play-off for the Olympics spot against New Zealand, Oceania's highest ranked team in the FIFA Women's World Rankings.
