The Fiji Football Association will now turn its focus on getting more international matches for the Vodafone Fiji Senior team.

Association Chief Executive Officer Bob Kumar says they have been quite busy lately with the events but are now working on the national team.

“We are required to play some international matches as there has been quite a bit of concerns raised by our supporters that the rankings have gone down. We were fully committed with other things but now that we have time, we are trying to play international matches. We started with Tonga last week while the American Samoa team is here and we will be playing them on Thursday (Today)."
