The Fiji Junior Bula Boys departed Nadi International Airport yesterday as they embarked on their journey to Qatar for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.

Under the guidance of head coach Stéphane Auvray, the team will first travel to Dubai for their final preparations, where they are scheduled to play a series of friendly matches before making their way to Doha.

Nasinu midfielder Maikah Dau will lead the side as captain at the prestigious tournament.

The campaign will also provide a valuable opportunity for three members of the squad who recently signed with Extra Bula FC ahead of the 2027 OFC Pro League season to gain further international experience.
