The Digicel Fiji Bula Boys are gearing up to take on Papua New Guinea in their quest to win Group A of the FIFA World Cup 26 Qualifiers. The match is set for this Thursday at the PNG Football Stadium in Port Moresby.

Midfielder Tevita Waranivalu has highlighted the challenges posed by their opponents and stressed that the team is committed to putting forth their best effort to get closer to securing their place in the World Cup. This upcoming match follows their narrow 1-0 victory over the Solomon Islands during Fiji Day festivities last month at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, where Waranivalu himself scored the crucial goal from the penalty spot.

Waranivalu is confident about Fiji’s chances in their forthcoming matches, including a match against New Caledonia on Sunday. The match against PNG is scheduled for 4 PM on Thursday.

A win in this qualifier not only secures a direct spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup but also ensures that the runner-up will proceed to the next stage of qualifiers.

In light of the team’s strong performance and determination, fans are hopeful that Fiji can continue its momentum and achieve its historic goal of reaching the World Cup stage.
