Jerome Narayan, the goalkeeper for the Bula Boys, is set to represent the AuFFI All Stars in the highly anticipated 2024 Flick Hygiene Pacific Community Cup, which begins tomorrow at Churchill Park in Lautoka. The 22-year-old, currently based in Sydney, has delivered impressive performances while playing for Fiji’s national team, including every match in the World Cup qualifier group.
The All Stars squad boasts an array of talent, featuring notable players such as Papua New Guinea’s national striker Tommy Semmy, Japanese international So Kataoka, and former Fiji U20 representatives like Nickel Chand, Gulam Razool, Clarence Hussein, and Abdullah Aiyas. Additionally, Tavua’s Manasa Nawakula, Tailevu Naitasiri defender Geary Kubu, and ex-Lautoka left-back Aaron Edward round out the 22-member team.
Moreover, the team benefits from the experience and skill of guest players Nicholas Olsen, Jacob Tratt, Jalil Oscar Regague, and Azad Kasumovie, enhancing their chances on the field. The squad, coached by Eswa ‘Ninja’ Nadan and managed by former Nadroga representative Moshin Javed Nabi, is gearing up for their inaugural match against Navua tomorrow at 6:15 PM.
This tournament not only highlights the growing talent in Pacific football but also serves as a platform for young players to showcase their skills, fostering a sense of community and competition within the sport. As the AuFFI All Stars prepare for their opening match, there is great anticipation for their performance and the potential success that lies ahead in the tournament.
