Description

New Zealand claimed their ninth consecutive regional title with a commanding 3-0 victory over New Caledonia. The match was decisively won in the first half with Zoe Benson opening the scoring before Emily Lyon quickly added a double. Already qualified for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup 2026™, the team displayed characteristic composure and attacking precision throughout. Despite a courageous fight from New Caledonia in the second half, the defending champions' early three-goal surge proved insurmountable. This win sealed a perfect tournament for New Zealand who scored freely and did not concede a single goal, firmly establishing them as Oceania's benchmark in women's youth football.
