The VFF Champions League,[1] formerly known as the VFF National Super League[2] and the VFF Bred Cup, is the national league of Vanuatu.
The league is not fully professional.[3][4]
Since 2016, the PVFA, Port Vila Football Association does not take part in this competition anymore. Which means that the top teams from seven Vanuatu football associations compete in 3 groups and the top two from each advance to the final round. The winner of the final round qualifies for the OFC Champions League.
The 7 Associations are:

The No10 is a student and, like the other 20 members of the Vanuatu squad, he is not a professional footballer, but he is still the only player among his compatriots with experience of playing in the OFC Champions League. Centre-back Jason Thomas is the only other player to have represented his country – an island with fewer than 300,000 inhabitants – at senior level. Most of the population earn a living through horticulture, and some of the players also help out their families with the work.
None of the top-tier domestic competitions in Oceania is fully professional.
