Polynesia Cup
 | This article needs more citations. (December 2009) |
The Polynesia Cup (French: Coupe de Polynésie) was a football tournament for Polynesian nations within the Oceania Football Confederation. It acted along with the Melanesia Cup as a qualifying tournament for the OFC Nations Cup. The last tournament was played in 2000.[1]
The tournament involved a round-robin format where every team played each other once at the location of the tournament.
In the first tournament in 1994, Tahiti, fielding a young and inexperienced team, beat Tonga 1-0, American Samoa 2-0 and Western Samoa 7-0. Lolani Koko, a multisport athlete, captained the Western Samoan team. He had competed as a runner in the 1982 Commonwealth Games and was also an international rugby player for Western Samoa.[2]
