History
Samoa participated for the first time in the OFC U-17 Women's Championship in 2016.[2] It wasn't a huge success as the team suffered three heavy defeats. However, they managed to score a goal by Sophia Aveau against Tonga. The game ended in a 4–1 defeat but Samoa's first and only goal so far was scored.
