Fiji Football Association has launched an innovative initiative by partnering with International Football Consultancy, led by Ali McLae and Russ Gurr. The goal of this collaboration is to enhance the national team’s chances in upcoming FIFA World Cup tournaments by locating and recruiting players of Fijian heritage around the globe.
Fiji FA Chief Executive Mohammed Yusuf remarked, “We believe this initiative, along with our established FFA national academies, will expedite the growth of elite local talent while incorporating new overseas players into our teams.”
With their extensive international network and experience, McLae and Gurr will be instrumental in identifying and recruiting Fijian descent players. Yusuf added, “The united efforts of local and international talent will foster a more competitive and dynamic environment for Fijian football.”
