Fiji Gears Up for World Cup Qualifiers: Can Home Advantage Propel Them Forward?

Fiji aims to leverage its home field advantage as the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers take place this month in Suva. With the third match day on the horizon, Coach Rob Sherman’s team is determined to strengthen their bid for a semi-final spot, set to occur in New Zealand in early 2025. The coach express confidence as he has retained most of the players from earlier this year. “We’ve had a few friendly matches in the September window, so we’ve been consistently working with the team throughout the year.” Sherman added, “In terms of preparation for the qualifiers, things have gone pretty well, so I’m reasonably happy with the progress we’ve made.”
