TheNew Caledonia men's national football team is the national team ofNew Caledonia and is controlled by theFédération Calédonienne de Football. Although they were only admitted toFIFA in 2004, they have been participating in theOFC Nations Cup since its inception. They have been one of this relatively small region's strongest teams, finishing second in2008 and2012, and third in1973 and1980. They were the top ranked OFC nation at number 95 in September 2008,[3] making them only the fourth country from the confederation to have reached the global top 100.

History

[edit]

TheNew Caledonian Football Federation, although created in 1928,[4] did not joinFIFA or theOFC until 2004, becoming the 205th member of the former.

Previously the New Caledonian selection, due to the attachment of local institutions to theFrench Football Federation, could only line up during friendly matches or regional competitions, such as the Pacific Games, as well as the Oceania Football Cup, but only as a guest.

TheCagous distinguished themselves during these competitions, winning the Pacific Games on several occasions, and finishing in third place, during the first two editions of theOFC Nations Cup.

After failing to qualify for the2004 OFC Nations Cup, theNew Caledonian Football Federation hiredDidier Chambaron as the team's new coach. During the2007 South Pacific Games in Apia, theCagous were placed in group A and won over their great rivalTahiti (1–0), this meeting was the first of the playoffs for the2010 FIFA World Cup. They then won againstTuvalu and theCook Islands (1–0) and (3–0). For their last group match, they drew againstFiji (1–1). The New Caledonians finished second in their group, and then beat theSolomon Islands (3–2), then in the final won the trophy against Fiji (1–0).

The Pacific Games football tournament serving as the first qualifying round for the World Cup in South Africa, the team found themselves qualified for the second round, whereNew Zealand blocked their way by taking first place. TheCagous however finish second in front ofFiji andVanuatu.

In May 2011, the selection facedReunion twice inNouméa, matches counting for the preparation of the games of the islands of the Indian Ocean in the Seychelles of the Reunionese. The New Caledonians lost both matches. However, a few months later, during the2011 Pacific Games, New Caledonia won in the final against theSolomon Islands, with the score of (2–0), after a victory against Tahiti (3–1).

In June 2012, on the occasion of theOFC Nations Cup, theCagous succeeded in beatingNew Zealand in the semi-finals, with a score of 2–0 (goals fromBertrand Kai andGeorges Gope-Fenepej), but failed in the final against their Tahitian rivals (1–0). Nevertheless, the competition serving as a second qualifying round for the2014 FIFA World Cup, New Caledonia found itself, along with Tahiti and the semi-finalists New Zealand and the Solomon Islands qualified for the next round.

Rivalries

[edit]

A historical sporting rivalry exists between the two French Pacific overseas collectivities, New Caledonia andTahiti. They compete regularly in regional and, since 2006, international competitions. In 2012, Tahiti led the number of titles won (1OFC Nations Cup, 5 gold medals at theSouth Pacific Games, 2 at the South Pacific mini-games, against 6 gold at the South Pacific Games for New Caledonia). As of their last match in 2018, out of the 62 matches played since 1953, the New Caledonia has 28 wins against 25 for Tahiti and 9 draws.[citation needed]
