Tahiti is set to make a strong return to the OFC Nations Cup, bringing a mix of seasoned veterans and emerging talents to the tournament. The 2012 champions, led by coach Samuel Garcia, will compete in Group B alongside Fiji, Samoa, and Papua New Guinea. The group stage matches will be held in Suva, Fiji. Should Tahiti advance, the semifinals and finals will take place in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
The squad features a predominantly local lineup, with standout players such as Teaonui Tehau, affectionately known as Filou leading the charge. As Tahiti’s top all-time national team goalscorer, Tehau’s experience and scoring prowess will be crucial for the team’s success. Key players like Alvin Tehau, Matatia Paama, and Kevin Barbe bring additional experience and stability to the squad.
