OCEANIA’S CLUB OF THE FIRST DECADE (2001-2010)
AUCKLAND CITY FC (NEW ZEALAND)
Late in 2005 the FFA (Australia) left the Oceania Confederation (OFC). Since clubs must be affiliated with the respective Confederation, only those points were considered for the Oceanian club ranking of the First Decade which Australian clubs earned during the period of 2001-2005. Therefore, depending on the period, Australian clubs may appear in either the Oceanian or the Asian continental club rankings. Only for the CLUB WORLD RANKING of THE FIRST DECADE, the Oceanian and Asian points earned by Australian clubs were added together.
After nine years, the ranking was topped by Perth Glory (Australia) and five Australian clubs were in the Top 10, showing the great superiority of the Australian League over the others in Australia, the australian clubs earning no longer points in Oceania since January 1 2006 !
Auckland City FC gathered many points in 2010 from its participation in the OFC Champions League and remained clear ahead of Ba and Perth to become Oceania’s Club of the first decade of the 21th Century. During this period (2001-2010), 36 clubs achieved more than hundred points.
Auckland City FC was honoured as Oceania’s Club of the First Decade of the 21th Century at the World Football Gala 2012 in Barcelona (picture).
