Fiji Football Association’s Chief Executive Officer, Mohammed Yusuf, has announced that a new head coach for the Fiji Kulas will likely be unveiled later this week after the departure of former coach Angeline Chua. As the FIFA Women’s World Cup–Oceania Qualifiers approaches in March, Yusuf emphasizes the urgency of filling the coaching position to ensure the team’s readiness for this significant tournament.
The qualifiers are a critical opportunity for the Kulas to face top teams from the region and strive for a place on the global stage. Yusuf noted that the association is committed to a seamless transition during this pivotal time, prioritizing the swift appointment of a coach who can effectively integrate with the players and technical staff, thus guiding the team into the qualifiers.
Yusuf took a moment to recognize Chua’s contributions during her time with the team, expressing well wishes for her future endeavors. He also reaffirmed the FFA’s dedication to the long-term growth of women’s football in Fiji.
With the new head coach likely to be appointed soon, the Kulas will enter an intensive training phase to prepare for the upcoming challenges, with local camps being organized shortly after the announcement. This proactive approach highlights the association’s commitment to not only achieving success but also fostering the development of women’s sports in the country.
