The Vodafone Fiji under 19 football side has eased the throttle on its preparations for the OFC Under 20 championships in Suva.

Coach Ravinesh Kumar says the players have put in a 100% effort during training throughout the week.

“We are doing the recovery sessions now in the pools and a bit of relaxation too. We don’t want to pressurize the boys just before the games. On top of that we are doing a lot of stretching sessions so on top of that, the boys are doing well.”

Fiji will play its opening game against American Samoa at 2:30pm on Friday at the ANZ Stadium.
