The Fiji National Women’s football team has been identified as a contender for the Gold medal in the Pacific Games next year.

This was after they finished second in the Oceania Football Championship Nations Cup behind a strong Kiwi side.

Fiji national women’s coach Marika Rodu says players will have to up their technical skills as a Gold Medal contender if they are to win.

“The concerning part is the intensity of the game which we still need to work more on it, work more with the district coaches and officials to ensure that we are competitive and consistent in discipline in how we play our game.”

The selection of players for the national women’s team to the Pacific Games in Samoa will continue during the IDC next month.
