American Samoa spreading the net wide for fresh soccer talent and more OFC finals appearances
But now the FFAS has reached what its president Alex Godinet says is a pivotal moment in its development by partnering with the International Football Consultancy.
Run by directors Alastair McLae and Russ Gurr, they have already assisted Cook Islands, Fiji, and most notably Samoa, to identify new soccer talent in the diaspora.
In Samoa's case, an influx of players has led to their young women securing a place at the next two Under-17 FIFA World Cups in Morocco.
So now American Samoa has drafted in those same specialists to strengthen all their teams' chances of qualifying for OFC tournaments, and Alastair McLae says the early signs are very encouraging.

AFL chief: Injuries not fixture to blame for 2025 season blowouts
AFL boss Andrew Dillon concedes there have been 'too many' lopsided games in 2025 but says lengthy injury lists and not fixture imbalances are to blame. But with the impending entry of a 19th team in Tasmania, the league chief executive said the view on fixturing would continue to 'evolve' with a focus on trying to avoid double-ups between inferior teams. While there were five matches decided by under 10 points in round 22, it was an outlier in an otherwise one-sided season. The previous week there were three matches with winning margins in excess of 80 points from the nine games and two 90-point margins the week before. Port Adelaide lost by a combined 186 points in rounds 21 and 22. The fight for finals also ended early and only one team outside the top eight remains a chance to break in by the final round. Port Adelaide copped back-to-back thrashings. Picture:It has left a large number of no-meaning matches across the final two rounds, with three games between non-finalists in round 23 alone. The ongoing need to fixture two derbies in Perth, showdowns in Adelaide, Q-clashes in Queensland and clashes between Sydney and GWS remains a hurdle in a more balanced fixture. Dillon said it was hard to predict which teams would rise and fall, and Essendon's unprecedented injury battles in 2025 had unavoidable impacts on games. But Dillon said fixturing needed to be addressed as a potential way to balance out the competition going forward. 'It's nice to have nine trying to get into eight, but it would be better if it was 14/15 teams trying to get into finals,' he said. 'What you also have this year is three or four teams that weren't top eight last year like Adelaide and Gold Coast. As things move, it is difficult to predict. 'I'm finding it hard to predict what happens this weekend let alone trying to do it in October for next year. 'We need to continue to evolve. Whether that's having a formula to remove subjectivity, we will continue to assess. We have an opportunity in a couple of years with Tassie coming in to have a look at how the fixture is set and how the season runs. The Bombers have been decimated by injury. Picture: Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images 'Our sport has stood the test of time. You want to evolve but you don't have to revolutionise at the same time. 'There is reasons for that. If you study injury lists, there is almost a direct correlation to where you are on the ladder. It's not where we want to be. 'We want a competition where you go to the game each week and you think you're a chance. We have had too many games this year that it wasn't the case.' Dillon also confirmed that players were 'all in' on a potential return for State of Origin next February. 'Absolutely (players are all in). as we saw with the All Stars game, it works when the players are all in. When the players are all in, then clubs are in and fans buy in,' he told SEN. 'Conversations I have had with the players they are all in. Then we work out how often we play it and when you play it. The first part is to get it going again. 'The clubs understand we have to continue to evolve as a competition. Some traditional thinking has to be modified but not to the detriment of home-and-away season and finals.'

Two men charged after alleged match-fixing attempt on Gold Coast soccer games
Two men have been charged after an alleged match-fixing attempt involving a Gold Coast football club. Police allege on May 12 and June 20, two employees of an offshore investment group acting as "player agents" approached a Gold Coast soccer player at a Coomera address "in a coordinated effort to procure match-fixing behaviour in exchange for payment". The Gold Coast United Football Club issued a statement in relation to the investigation on June 28. "Gold Coast United FC is fully cooperating with both governing bodies throughout this process," the statement said. "As these investigations are ongoing, the club is unable to provide further comment or disclose additional information at this time." There is no suggestion there has been any wrongdoing by any Gold Coast United players. On Tuesday, officers from the NSW Police Organised Crime Squad's Gaming Unit carried out search warrants at properties in Mosman and Mount Colah in Sydney. A 55-year-old man and 45-year-old man were arrested and extradited to Brisbane on Wednesday. They were both charged with one count each of procuring a person to engage in match-fixing with pecuniary benefit. They are due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today. Detective Chief Inspector Melissa Anderson from the Drug and Serious Crime Group said the matter was referred to authorities by Football Australia, and there was no evidence that a game was match-fixed or compromised. "These charges should serve as a clear warning to anyone considering taking part in match-fixing." She said this case was only the second time a person had been charged with a match-fixing offence since the legislation was introduced in 2014. "Match-fixing is serious criminal behaviour that undermines community confidence in the fairness of sport," she said "We are committed to working with partner agencies, including the New South Wales Police and Sport Integrity Australia, to ensure a safe and fair sporting environment in Queensland."
