Fiji national women’s football coach Marika Rodu believes they have a slim chance of making it to the 2023 World Cup.

Top on the agenda for the former national rep is getting the team into camp as soon as possible as they prepare to compete against teams from the Oceania region.

Rodu says they will put in the hard yards and take one step at a time.

“There will be 10 teams vying for the last three spots for the World Cup so there is two-stage to this qualification. So the first priority is to qualify out of the first stage which is on Oceania and we will take it from there.”

The national men’s team are already in camp preparing for the OFC Oceania qualifiers in Qatar next year.
