The Digicel Fiji U16 team is set to return from Tahiti tomorrow after successfully qualifying for the FIFA U17 World Cup during the OFC U16 Championship.
Coach Sunil Kumar announced that they are already planning friendly matches to prepare the team for the World Cup. Conversations have started with coaches from New Zealand and New Caledonia to organize a tri-nation series aimed at enhancing the performance of all three teams ahead of the global event.
“Arranging test matches is our top priority at this moment. Immediately after the final, we discussed the possibility of friendly matches or a tri-nation series to help each other improve,” Kumar stated. He noted that this initiative will require the respective football boards to review and make necessary decisions.
