The 2024 Tri-Nations Cup, which was set to feature Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and Australia’s Socceroos U23, has been cancelled. The tournament will no longer take place due to significant challenges faced by New Caledonia. The country is currently dealing with severe political and logistical issues, which have hindered their ability to participate. The ongoing situation has also led to difficulties with arranging flights, further complicating their involvement.
Despite the cancellation of the tournament, the friendly match between the Vanuatu National Team and the Socceroos U23 will continue as planned. This match is part of the PacificAus Sports program, an initiative funded by the Australian government to support and promote football in the Pacific region.
