There are now 20 national football players in camp at the Fiji FA Academy in Ba preparing for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Qualifiers to be staged next year in March.

Last week the camp started with 14 players but another six have now joined the squad after getting leave approvals from the Fiji Police Force.

National team Manager Anushil Kumar says they’ve received confirmation that the three teachers, Anish Khem, Ashneel Raju and Assistant Coach Sunil Kumar have been cleared to join the squad as well.

However, Raju will train in Labasa with the rest of the northern players under the guidance of Assistant Coach Sanaila Bera.

Other Labasa players that will train in the north include Sitiveni Rakai, Malvin Mani, Lekima Gonerau and Ilisoni Logaivou.

Kumar adds the overseas-based players will be called when the border opens and Captain Roy Krishna will join the team a week before the qualifiers and hopefully in the January FIFA Window.
