Pretty sure this is the case.
Decision was made earlier this year in a review of last years tournament and following the move on Jan 1st by Australia into Asia.
The decision may have even been suggested by OFC officials.
Not sure on the details as would have to check back but with the rugby biased media here it is not surprising this detail has slipped through in coverage of the beautiful game.
I think the 5th place play-off has been dropped in favour of the “opening round” clash between Auckland City and a J League winner. The winner of this gets to play with the big boys.
This decision has been applauded in some quarters by people smarter than me as it stops a basic amatuer team being savaged and embarassing Fifa and I guess the game here.
