14 players have been named in the Fiji Futsal side for a three match tour to New Zealand in December.

The team is made up of development players and has been camping at the Fiji Football Headquarters in Suva this month.

Fiji Futsal coach, Intiaz Khan says it is a young squad and the tour will serve them well for the qualifiers for the FIFA Futsal World Cup in Colombia next year.

“The players support is there, if you see the team, the average is 22 so I don’t think we have any issues with more players coming in, plus many more will try to come in.”

Fiji plays its first match against New Zealand on 15th December in Auckland.

The side will also play three build-up matches prior to the tour against Waikato Bay of Plenty, Auckland and F.C Faran of New Caledonia.
