The '''2018 OFC U-16 Championship''' was the 18th edition of the [[OFC U-16 Championship|OFC U-16/U-17 Championship]], the biennial international youth [[association football|football]] championship organised by the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] (OFC) for the men's under-16/under-17 national teams of Oceania. The qualifying stage was held in [[Tonga]] between 14 and 20 July 2018, and the final tournament was held in the [[Solomon Islands]] between 9–22 September 2018.<ref name="calendar"/>

Before the last tournament the age limit was reduced by a year to 16 years of age. However the last tournament remained the name U-17 Championship. For this tournament, the name has changed to U-16 Championship. So players who want to participate in the tournament needed to be born on or after 1 January 2002. At an OFC Executive Committee meeting held at its [[Auckland]] headquarters in November 2013 the competition format was modified. The competition was brought forward a year and the age limit was lowered to 16 years of age. The changes were made in order to allow the winner of the competition plenty of time for preparation and player development for upcoming World Cups at [[FIFA U-17 World Cup|Under 17]] level.<ref>{{cite web|title=OFC Executive meeting outcomes announced |url=http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc/News/ViewArticle/tabid/125/Article/62921ee9-defd-41b1-a1d2-eb6df2a59caa/language/en-US/Default.aspx |publisher=[[Oceania Football Confederation]] |date=23 November 2013 |access-date=19 December 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202230930/http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc/News/ViewArticle/tabid/125/Article/62921ee9-defd-41b1-a1d2-eb6df2a59caa/language/en-US/Default.aspx |archive-date=2 December 2013 }}</ref>

In March 2015, FIFA decided that the OFC gets two slots at every FIFA U-20 and U-17 World Cup.<ref name="auto">{{cite web |title=Competition calendar outlined |url=http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc/News/ViewArticle/tabid/125/Article/12dbf167-bea8-4962-9867-3b68ccd3ba6a/language/en-US/Default.aspx |publisher=[[Oceania Football Confederation]] |date=10 December 2013 |access-date=10 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160924143808/http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc/News/ViewArticle/tabid/125/Article/12dbf167-bea8-4962-9867-3b68ccd3ba6a/language/en-US/Default.aspx |archive-date=2016-09-24 |url-status=dead }}</ref> So the top two teams of the tournament qualified for the [[2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup]] in [[Brazil]] as the OFC representatives. [[New Zealand national under-17 football team|New Zealand]], the defending champions, won the title for the eighth time, and qualified together with runners-up [[Solomon Islands national under-17 football team|Solomon Islands]].

==Format==
The tournament structure is as follows:<ref name="auto"/>
*'''Qualifying stage''': The four teams from the "developing associations" ([[American Samoa national under-17 football team|American Samoa]], [[Cook Islands national under-17 football team|Cook Islands]], [[Samoa national under-17 football team|Samoa]] and [[Tonga national under-17 football team|Tonga]]) play in the qualifying stage. The winner of the [[round-robin tournament]] qualify for the final tournament.
*'''Final tournament''': A total of eight teams ([[Fiji national under-17 football team|Fiji]], [[New Caledonia national under-17 football team|New Caledonia]], [[New Zealand national under-17 football team|New Zealand]], [[Papua New Guinea national under-17 football team|Papua New Guinea]], [[Solomon Islands national under-17 football team|Solomon Islands]], [[Tahiti national under-17 football team|Tahiti]], [[Vanuatu national under-17 football team|Vanuatu]], and the qualifying stage winner) play in the final tournament. For the group stage, they are divided into two groups of four teams. The top two teams of each group advance to the knockout stage (semi-finals and final) to decide the winner of the OFC U-16 Championship and the two teams that qualify for the [[FIFA U-17 World Cup]].

The draw for the tournament was held on 2 February 2018 at the OFC Headquarters in [[Auckland]], [[New Zealand]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/paths-laid-for-ofc-youth-tournaments/|title=Paths laid for OFC youth tournaments|publisher=Oceania Football Confederation|date=2 February 2018}}</ref> In both the qualifying stage and the final tournament, the hosts (Tonga and Solomon Islands) were assigned to position A1 in the draw, while the remaining teams were drawn into the other positions without any seeding.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP0spwgKKzo|title=OFC U-19 & U-16 CHAMPIONSHIP 2018 OFFICIAL DRAW|publisher=YouTube|date=2 February 2018}}</ref>

==Age fraud controversy==
The [[Solomon Islands national under-17 football team|Solomon Islands]], which originally finished second, were found by the OFC to have deliberately fielded overage player [[Chris Satu]] during the tournament and would forfeit all results and their place in the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.<ref name="forfeit">{{cite web|url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc-disciplinary-committee-releases-decision-on-eligibilty/|title=OFC Disciplinary Committee releases decision on eligibility |publisher=Oceania Football Confederation|date=16 February 2019}}</ref> The decision was reviewed under appeal from the [[Solomon Islands Football Federation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc-appeal-committee-to-reconvene/|title=OFC Appeal Committee to reconvene|publisher=Oceania Football Confederation|date=10 April 2019}}</ref> The OFC Executive Committee announced on 3 May 2019 that Solomon Islands would keep their spot for the FIFA U-17 World Cup on the grounds that the federation had not knowingly broken the rules as Satu had a government issued passport showing his eligibility.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://footballoceania.com/2019/05/03/solomon-islands-appeal-upheld-they-are-going-to-the-world-cup/|title=Solomon Islands appeal upheld – They are going to the World Cup|date=3 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/solomon-islands-player-eligibility-appeal-upheld/|title=Solomon Islands player eligibility appeal upheld|publisher=Oceania Football Confederation|date=4 May 2019}}</ref>

On 11 December 2019, it was found that Solomon Islands' player Maxwell Keana played in five games with a "false birth certificate and passport to improperly seek eligibility" for the competition. As a result, the [[Solomon Islands Football Federation]] was sanctioned and the Oceania Football Confederation banned the [[Solomon Islands national under-17 football team|Solomon Islands]] from entering a team in the [[2023 OFC U-17 Championship]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Solomon Islands Football Federation and player sanctioned |url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/solomon-islands-football-federation-and-player-sanctioned/ |website=Oceania Football Confederation |access-date=14 December 2019 |date=13 December 2019}}</ref>
