National Soccer League

The lads from Lae are in the same pool alongside Tupapa Maraerenga FC from Cook Islands, Vanuatu’s Nalkutan FC and Ba FC from Fiji.

Toti City will kick off their campaign against Tupapa Maraerenga FC at Korman Stadium on February 10.

PNG’s other team that will take part in the Champions League, Madang FC, have been slotted into Pool C.

Pool C matches will be played at The Trusts Arena, New Zealand, in March.

The winners of the 2018 OFC Champions League will qualify as the OFC representative at the 2018 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

Malampa have made it through after a semi-final win over favourites Ifira Black Bird, while in the second semi-final, Amicale were made to work very hard for a 2-0 victory over another Santo side, Vaum United.

Now Malampa and Amicale will go head to head for the national title, and a place in the OFC Champions League.

Harry Attison from the Vanuatu Football Federation saw both the semi-finals, and says Malampa's victory over the highly fancied Black Birds shouldn't have a come as a surprise.
