The Fijiana 7s team is embarking on an exciting journey as they prepare for the 2024-25 HSBC SVNS opener in Dubai. The squad boasts a significant transformation, featuring nine debutants in its 13-member lineup. This fresh outlook comes under the guidance of Interim Head Coach Timoci Volavola, who has opted for new talent and a revamped strategy in preparation for their first tournament of the season.
Among the newcomers are Mere Vocevoce, Sera Bolatini, Silika Qalo, Ruth Raketekete, Varanisese Qoro, Vika Nakacia, Milika Drugunavanua, and Livia Naidei, all set to make their first appearance for the Fijiana 7s. Among the four returning players—Lavena Cavuru, Ana Maria Naimasi, Mereani Rogosau, and Ilisapeci Delaiwau—the experience will be invaluable as they look to guide their team.
The squad is set to depart from Nadi International Airport tomorrow, with their opening match against Australia on Saturday, November 30th, at 9:05 PM.
This comprehensive overhaul signifies not just a new chapter for Fijiana 7s but also the potential for a dynamic and competitive presence in the upcoming tournament. The mix of fresh talent alongside seasoned players bodes well for the team’s aspirations, instilling hope and excitement among fans and supporters alike.
Overall, this innovative approach could unlock new strengths for the Fijiana side, and as they step onto the field in Dubai, they carry the optimism of a nation anticipating great achievements.
