Tahiti has most often ( ten times ) won by all teams with 13 or more goals and held on 7 September 1963 to April 1, 1966 by a 18-0 against the Solomon Islands and 2 September 1971 to 11 April 2001 a 30:0 against the Cook Islands the record for the highest international match victories.

The favorite New Zealand was only third. Tahiti was thus for the first time qualified for the Confederations Cup and met on world and European champions Spain, South American champions Uruguay and the African champions Nigeria. For Tahiti, these were the first games against teams in South America and the CAF, CONMEBOL and UEFA. The team suffered their heaviest defeat against Spain an oceanic team against a team of a different confederation and the 0:8 against Uruguay the highest defeats an oceanic team against a South American team, first with the 0:10.
