Fiji
Fiji qualified by winning the OFC Men’s Olympic Football Tournament Qualifying competition. Fiji breezed through the group stage matches, but Vanuatu gave them a tough time in the finals extending the match to a penalty shootout. Jale Dreloa was able to secure Fiji’s passage to Rio by converting the last kick.
