They finally qualified for their first World Cup entry in 1982 after a long series of competitions. First, they won the Oceania qualification group They then went on to play in a 5 team Round Robin tournament beating China to the qualification position after finishing joint top.

The team only managed to score 2 goals in the tournament against Scotland but as it was their first World Cup entry, even that was seen as an achievement by many fans.
