Preeya Singh, a talented midfielder from the United States, is set to return to the Fiji Kulas women’s football team, bringing hope and enthusiasm as they prepare for the upcoming matches, including an anticipated clash against the Solomon Islands. The 20-year-old, who previously represented Fiji at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, highlighted the sense of camaraderie and support among her teammates, who she described as “super welcoming” and “very nice.”
As Singh rejoins the squad, she expressed her excitement about the opportunity to compete again, stating, “I’m very grateful that I got this opportunity. I haven’t done the Nations Cup for at least a senior team, so I’m very excited for it.” Her arrival could be particularly timely as the Kulas gear up for the OFC Women’s Nations Cup, beginning on July 5.
The Kulas are under the leadership of head coach Angeline Chua, who has emphasized the importance of teamwork and tactical unity in their training sessions. The team, blending experienced players with rising talents, aims to improve on their previous tournament performances, where they finished as runners-up in 2022. The involvement of players like Singh not only enhances the dynamic of the squad but also serves as inspiration for young female athletes in Fiji.
The match against the Solomon Islands is set to take place on Saturday at 7 PM at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, and fans are encouraged to rally behind the Kulas as they embark on this significant journey. The upcoming tournament not only represents a chance to showcase their skills but also to inspire future generations of female footballers in Fiji, marking a positive step in the growth of women’s sports in the region.
With the excitement building and the support of the community, the Fiji Kulas are hopeful about making their mark in this tournament, striving for success and a brighter future in women’s football.
