The Oceania Football Confederation is looking at combining the men's OFC Olympic Qualifying Tournament and next August's Pacific Games Men's Football tournament in Papua New Guinea.
The tournament was originally scheduled as a stand-alone tournament in Tonga in December 2015.
The new approach could see the New Zealand and Australia U-23 Men's team participate in the Pacific Games for the first time.
The OFC executive says it supports a more rounded representation of nations at the next event.
