Fiji FA Technical Director Timo Jankowski says they want to give these two players exposure at this very young age.

The 24-member squad from the southern zone marched into camp at the Fiji FA Academy in Vatuwaqa while the northern players will camp in Labasa for the weekend.

Meanwhile, only one Digicel Premier League match will be played this weekend with Labasa hosting Lautoka at Subrail Park tomorrow at 1.30pm.
