The final was held at the VFF Freshwater Stadium in Port Vila, Vanuatu. In December 2023, OFC announced the 2024 tournament would be held in Vanuatu.[2] The VFF Freshwater Stadium was chosen as the final venue of the tournament along with the Group B matches, and the semi-finals.[1] [2]
The VFF Freshwater Stadium opened in 2022 thanks to financing by FIFA. The stadium was owned by the Vanuatu Football Federation. The Vanuatu national team also occasionally played its home matches at the stadium. The VFF Freshwater Stadium had also hosted other significant matches, including several matches in the 2023 OFC Champions League, which included the final between Auckland City and Suva.[3] [4]
