The tournament also doubled as the 7th edition of the OFC Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the quadrennial international tournament organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) to determine which men's under-23 national teams from Oceania qualify for the Olympic football tournament. A separate qualifying tournament was initially set to take place at Tonga between 2–12 December 2015.[2] However, it was later decided to absorb the qualifying tournament into the Pacific Games, as the New Zealand team participated for the first time in the Pacific Games men's football tournament.[3][4]

As some of the participating teams are not members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and thus ineligible for the Olympics, there were two separate knockout stages, one for Olympic qualifying where the winner qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics men's football tournament,[5] and another for determining the Pacific Games medalists.[6]

New Caledonia won the Pacific Games gold medal, while Fiji qualified for the Olympic football tournament for the first time after winning the OFC Olympic qualifying tournament.[7]

Teams

A total of eight teams participated in the tournament.[6]

New Zealand advanced to the Olympic Qualifying final with a 2–0 result, but were replaced by Vanuatu on the day of the final after the Oceania Football Confederation found that they had fielded an ineligible player, Deklan Wynne. The match was declared a 3–0 victory for Vanuatu.[14][15] New Zealand were unable to appeal before the final was played and subsequently announced they would appeal,[16] but on 23 October 2015, the OFC announced that New Zealand's appeal had been rejected,[17] meaning New Zealand's only chance to overturn the decision would be to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[18] On 13 November 2015, New Zealand Football confirmed that they would not appeal.[19]
