The Fiji Kulas, the national women’s football team, are putting the finishing touches on their preparations for the MSG Prime Ministers Cup 2025, taking place in Papua New Guinea. Under the guidance of head coach Angeline Chua, the team has been training diligently at the Fiji FA Academy Ground in Vatuwaqa, honing their fitness, tactical skills, and team cohesion as they aim to make a significant impact at the tournament.
The Kulas will kick off their campaign against the Papua New Guinea Reds on November 10 at 3 PM at the Sir John Guise Stadium in Port Moresby. Coach Chua has expressed confidence in her team, noting their remarkable work ethic and dedication in the lead-up to the event. “The girls have worked really hard over the past few weeks, and we’re happy with the progress they’ve made,” Chua remarked. She added that while they anticipate a challenging match against the hosts, their focus remains on executing their game plan effectively and maintaining discipline throughout the match.
Placed in Group B alongside the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, the Kulas are determined to advance to the semi-finals, which are slated for November 20, culminating in the grand finale on November 22. The tournament presents a prime opportunity for the Kulas to gain invaluable international experience and spotlight the rising talent in women’s football in Fiji.
This event marks a key moment not only for the players but also for the development of women’s sports in Fiji. The national team’s commitment and the growing support from the community illustrate a hopeful trajectory for future female athletes. The Kulas’ journey in the MSG Prime Ministers Cup is expected to inspire young girls across Fiji to pursue sports, demonstrating that with hard work and determination, they too can excel on the international stage. As they prepare to make their mark, the Kulas are driven by ambition and the strong spirit of unity that fuels their quest for success.
