The Fiji Young Kulas are set to compete against Brazil in the 2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup tomorrow, with specific goals in mind. Assistant Coach Annette Nainima expressed the team’s desire to perform well and to score their first-ever World Cup goal.
She stated, “It’s our first ever World Cup, and to go back and share the stories with our families and loved ones is something significant, as no one ever imagined that Fiji’s women’s team would reach the World Cup. But here we are.”
Nainima acknowledged the pride of their families back home, who are eagerly anticipating the matches on television. “We’re just going to give our best,” she added.
Fiji’s first match against Brazil is scheduled for 11 am on Sunday, September 1. They will then face Canada on Wednesday, September 4 at 1 pm, followed by a match against France on Saturday, September 7 at 10 am, all times in Fiji.
