“Mustafa is currently trying to make according to our international body qualifying standard. It’s quite a tough call for Athletics Fiji to ensure that he gets through.”

Liga adds it will be quite difficult for field athletes to qualify as they will need to be at least on the Top 20 in international rankings.
