The Fiji women’s national football team is the international women’s football team of Fiji, managed by the local football association (FFA).
As of December 11, 2025, the team is ranked 78th in the FIFA women’s world rankings[1]. As a member of the OFC, it can participate in various international football tournaments, such as the FIFA World Championship, the Oceanic Nations Cup, the Summer Olympic Games and the Pacific Games.
The Fijian women’s national team played its first matches in official competitions at the first Oceanian Nations Cup in 1983[2]. He made his debut against New Caledonia, losing 2-0, before losing significantly against Australia and New Zealand[3]. After missing the four subsequent editions of the competition, he returned to participate in the 1998 edition; they passed the group stage as runners-up in group A, despite a clear defeat against New Zealand[4]. In the knockout phase they were defeated in the semi-final by Australia 17-0 and subsequently lost the third place final against Papua New Guinea[5].
It did not take part in the Oceanian Nations Cup in 2003, 2007 and 2014, while in the 2010 edition it did not make it past the group stage. In the 2018 edition he gained access to the final phase after finishing in first place in the qualifying round[6]. Thanks to second place in group B of the group stage, they gained access to the knockout stage, and then overcame Papua New Guinea in the semi-final, qualifying for the final for the first time[7]. In the final, which put direct qualification for the 2019 world championship at stake, the Fijians lost 8-0 against the New Zealanders, their fourth consecutive title[8]. The 2022 edition was the first to be hosted in Fiji and the first in which New Zealand did not take part. After topping their group in first place, the Fijian national team beat the Cook Islands in the quarter-finals and the Solomon Islands in the semi-finals, returning to play in the final for the second time in a row[9]. Also on this occasion, Fiji finished in second place, after losing to Papua New Guinea, missing the opportunity to compete in the intercontinental play-offs to qualify for the 2023 World Cup.[10]. In the 2025 Oceanian Nations Cup, the Fijian national team finished in second place in their group, then being defeated by Papua New Guinea in the semi-final and by Samoa in the final for third place[11].
