## 2004 OFC Nations Cup

[edit]

Main article: 2004 OFC Nations Cup

The 2004 OFC Nations Cup - which doubled as FIFA World Cup qualifying for the Oceania region[7] \- consisted of two rounds. The first round saw six nations compete in a single group where each team played the other once. The top two teams progressed to a home-and-away finals series to determine the winner of the Nations Cup.

Due to a shock 4–2 loss to Vanuatu, New Zealand failed to place in the top two, resulting in Australia taking on the Solomon Islands in the two-legged final, eventually winning 5–1 away and 6–0 at home to claim the title of OFC Champions for a fourth time.[8]
