PanSa East qualified for the tournament held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea by winning their domestic league. The winner of the tournament would go on to represent Oceania at the 2001 Fifa World Club Championship, until that tournament was cancelled. PanSa competed in "Group B", which also contained Tafea FC from Vanuatu, AS Venus from French Polynesia, Titavi FC from Samoa and Tupapa FC from the Cook Islands. Unfortunately, PanSa lost all of their four games and finished bottom of the group. However, this does not tell the whole truth of the tournament. In fact, PanSa made a good start to the tournament, drawing 1-1 with AS Venus and thrashing Tupapa FC 4-0. However, the OFC Disciplinary Committee ruled that 7 of PanSa's 18 players were inelegible, and as some of the inelegible players were fielded against Venus and Tupapa, PanSa's opponents were awarded a 2-0 win in both games. PanSa were unable to field a team for the next game against Tafea, so their opponents were again awarded a 2-0 victory. After this game, PanSa withdrew from the competition, leaving the points from their final, unfulfilled fixture against Titavi to also be awarded to PanSa's opponents.
