Kirikiti Biu.

Fresh off his impressive performance at the 2025 Fiji Finals, young sprint sensation Kirikiti Biu has earned a spot in the Fiji U-16 extended football squad preparing for the OFC U-16 Championship.

Biu, a Year 9 student at Marist Brothers High School, claimed three gold medals in the sub-junior 100m, 200m, and 4x100m finals, also helping his school secure the boys division title.

Now, he brings his blistering pace to the pitch.

Biu joins 37 other young football talents from across the country for the Fiji FA Talent Identification Camp, which will run from May 6th to 10th at the Fiji FA Academy in Ba.

The camp is part of Fiji’s preparations for the 2025 OFC U-16 Championship in Solomon Islands later this year.

Also named is Maikah Dau, an impressive young player already featuring in Fiji’s Premier Division with Nasinu.
