Fiji will face four time winners New Zealand, and Pacific giants Solomon Island Islands and Vanuatu in Group B of the competition.

Group A has defending champions Tahiti, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia and Samoa.

The OFC Nations Cup will also act as Stage 2 of Oceania’s 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Qualifiers.

The tournament will be held in Papua New Guinea from the 28th of May to the 11th of June next year.
