2012 OFC Men's Pre-Olympic Football Tournament was the qualifying tournament to the football competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London for the member nations of the Oceania Football Confederation.[1] The tournament was played in New Zealand, after an OFC decision to strip Fiji of the rights to host the tournament was made in January 2012. It was announced on 7 February 2012 that Taupo would host the qualifiers, with the sole venue being Owen Delany Park.[2]
New Zealand won the tournament and qualified for the Olympic Games.
