The former Fiji rep who is a seasoned youth development mentor and national team leader, emphasized the importance of early preparation and discipline in building a competitive and united squad.

He says this is a critical stage in girls’ football journeys, and their focus will be on building a cohesive unit with strong values, tactical understanding, and international readiness.

The players will report to camp on the 29th of this month at the Fiji FA Academy in Vatuwaqa, as the team begins its journey toward international competition.

“Players are requested to bring football boots, shin pads, and joggers, school uniforms and stationery, passport and a copy of their birth certificate, signed parental consent forms from both parents and casual clothing and toiletries.”
