"Each team has 10 players (2 Goalkeepers and 8 field players) and they will play off through a round robin series ( Mon -Thurs ) followed by semi finals and then the medal and ranking round which will identify the qualifiers.
This is exciting as due to COVID pandemic there has been no Oceania events since Oceania Cup in Rockhampton in 2019.
The tournament is officiated by representatives from all the participating nations.
The tournament will be streamed daily so nations and interested supporters across the globe can follow the matches."
