The 12th OFC Women's Nations Cup offers up an opportunity for a country other than Australia or New Zealand to earn a spot at the 2023 intercontinental playoffs, from which two teams earn final 2023 World Cup berths. Coaches Lisa Cole (Fiji) and Nicola Demaine (Papua New Guinea) discuss the difficulties their smaller nations face in preparing for the tournament.
Ali Riley, who was on the cover of and featured in the August 2010 issue of Our Game Magazine, scored two goals on October 8 in New Zealand's 11-0 win over Papua New Guinea in the final of the OFC Women's Championship.
