The Digicel Fiji Bula Boys are determined to secure their position at the top of Group A as they prepare to face Papua New Guinea in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers. This much-anticipated match will take place this Thursday at the PNG Football Stadium in Port Moresby.
Midfielder Tevita Waranivalu has expressed respect for their formidable opponents and stressed that the team will put forth their strongest performance to inch closer to qualification for the prestigious tournament. Following a successful start in the qualifiers with a 1-0 win against the Solomon Islands on Fiji Day last month, Waranivalu is filled with optimism about the team’s prospects in the upcoming matches against PNG and New Caledonia on Sunday.
In the match against the Solomon Islands, Waranivalu played a crucial role by scoring the decisive goal from the penalty spot. As they approach the game against PNG scheduled for 4 PM this Thursday, the atmosphere is rife with excitement and anticipation.
The stakes are high, as the winner of this qualifying match will secure a direct entry into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while the runner-up will progress to the subsequent stage of qualifying.
This positive momentum for the Bula Boys signals a potentially historic opportunity for Fiji in the world of football, with hopes high for their performance in the qualifiers. Their spirit and dedication could very well pave the way for an exciting chapter in Fiji’s football history.
