Fiji aims to leverage their home advantage as the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers continue this month in Suva. With match day three approaching, Coach Rob Sherman’s team is preparing for a strong effort to reach the semi-finals, which will take place in New Zealand in early 2025. The coach is optimistic, having kept most of the squad he worked with earlier this year. “We’ve had a couple of friendlies in the September window, so we’ve been working with the team consistently throughout the year. In terms of preparation for the qualifiers, things have gone pretty well, so I’m reasonably happy with the progress we’ve made,” Sherman stated.
