The 2024 OFC U-16 Men's Championship will be the 21st edition of the OFC U-16/U-17 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the men's under-16/under-17 national teams of Oceania. The final tournament will be played in Pirae, Tahiti, from 28 July to 10 August 2024. [1]

The top three teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar as the OFC representatives. [2] [3] New Zealand are the defending champions. [4]

Teams

All 11 FIFA-affiliated national teams from the OFC entered the tournament.

In 2022 and 2023, male youth OFC tournaments did not have a four-team qualifying stage, and all teams competed in one tournament. [5] This was reversed for the 2024 tournament. [6]

Note: All appearance statistics include those in the qualifying stage (2016 and 2018).
