Football is the most popular sport in Vanuatu. The VFF organizes domestic competitions such as the Port Vila Premier League, which serves as the top football league in the country. Internationally, Vanuatu's national teams have achieved recognition, particularly in regional competitions like the OFC Nations Cup and the Pacific Games.[3]
The Vanuatu men's national team, formerly known as the New Hebrides national team, has experienced notable success in the Oceania region. The team has often finished in the top four of the OFC Nations Cup and secured an impressive 4-2 win against New Zealand in 2004, preventing New Zealand from advancing to the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[3]
