Why do Australia play in Asia and not Oceania?

Australia compete in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) after quitting the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) in 2005 in order to simplify their path to World Cup qualification. At the time, the best team in Oceania qualifying had to face a South American team in a two-leg playoff to reach the World Cup, while Asia had four automatic qualifying spots and a play-off. The Socceroos had lost out on World Cup qualification via the inter-confederation play-offs in 1986, 1994, 1998 and 2002.
