ChatGPT: Australia dan Zona OFC (Oceania Football Confederation)

🌏 Oceania Football Confederation (OFC)

OFC is the football confederation for Oceania, including Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, etc. Before moving to the Asia zone (AFC) in 2006, Australia played in OFC qualifiers. Australia usually dominated Oceania, but the main challenge was the intercontinental playoff, as OFC typically only got one playoff spot, not automatic qualification to the World Cup.
