On February 3, 2025, Mr. Stuart Larman, the OFC Professional League Project Manager, visited Freshwater Stadium to provide an in-depth explanation of the OFC Professional League. The session was attended by the Interim VFF Pro-League Committee, VFF Executive Committee Members, and other key stakeholders.
The OFC Professional League is poised to elevate football in the Pacific region to unprecedented heights, leaving a lasting impact on the global stage. As the first professional league of its kind in Oceania, it represents a significant step forward in fostering a competitive and aspirational environment for clubs and players. This initiative aims to inspire young talent, create professional pathways, and enhance football development across the region.
The Vanuatu Football Federation is committed to this ambitious project, ensuring that the initial stage of the VFF Professional Club will be established through the VFF, thereby laying a solid foundation for the future of professional football in Vanuatu.
The OFC Professional League is scheduled to commence in 2026, featuring eight teams from across Oceania, including Australia and Hawaii.
