19 year-old Navua Goalkeeper Alzar Alam is looking forward to making the final cut when the national football squad is announced this afternoon for the international friendly against the Solomon Islands tomorrow.

Alam who is one of the youngest players in the squad says it has been a crucial week for him at camp competing with experienced players.

“I’ve been training with them and now we know each other very well and gelling in well. When I was small I used to see some of them as my idols and be among them is a big milestone achievement.”
