Вперше з 1996 року турнір не мав країну-господаря і на відміну від попереднього турніру, на якому виступали 10 команд, в 2008 році виступали лише чотири збірні.
↑ абThe New Zealand vs Fiji match was originally scheduled for 13 October 2007, but was postponed by ФІФА after Fijian goalkeeper Simione Tamanisau was denied a visa by the New Zealand immigration authorities. The match was first rescheduled to be played in the neutral country of Samoa,[1][2] but subsequently moved again to Fiji.[3]
