Fiji Men’s head coach Jioweli Vakamoce said the squad has completed their intensive build-up leading into the tournament.

“We have completed 10 weeks of training (2 weeks of Phase 3) and we have 2 more weeks before the August International tournament.”

The final team was selected after a thorough assessment process.

“We had also completed all the components of our assessment and the selection of the Fiji Men’s team last week which we’ve now selected our final 12 based on our assessment and selection criteria.”
