Once that is done, then Fiji will have to wait for the green light to be given by host nation, Thailand, if the tournament will still go ahead in September.

“One of that is the under 19 and under 17 beach volleyball world tournament, let’s see how it goes different countries have different recovery period, like for Fiji it’s been a week or two weeks we don’t know about the other countries so I can only speak for us”.
