Speaking to FBC Sports, Dau who has also played for Nasinu senior team says he’s honoured to lead Fiji’s historical campaign.

”It’s really not a challenge because we know each other and we are in the same age group so we help each other with whatever needs to be done on the pitch and off the pitch”.

21 players will represent Fiji at the U17 World Cup next month where the side is in the same group with Argentina, Tunisia and Belgium.

They’ll leave for Saudi Arabia next Wednesday where they are going to be based for two weeks before heading to Qatar.
