Maikah Dau made a remarkable debut for the Extra Supermarket Bula FC in their inaugural match of the OFC Pro League yesterday, marking a significant milestone in his football journey and the ongoing development of talent within Fiji Football. At just 16 years old, Dau has already showcased his leadership skills as the former captain of the Fiji Under-16 team during last year’s OFC U-16 Men’s Championship. His impressive performance led to his selection for the national squad at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.
Dau’s ascent through the ranks has garnered attention, and his spot in Bula FC’s starting line-up was well-deserved given his accomplishments at the youth international level. Just before stepping onto the field, Dau’s confidence soared after a heartfelt call from his mother, which alleviated his nervousness and emboldened him to give an impressive performance.
Reflecting on the moment, Dau shared that it felt as if time stood still as he made his way through the stadium tunnel and into the spotlight. Bula FC is set to compete against South Island United tomorrow at 2 PM, and fans can catch the match live on FBC Two. With young talents like Maikah Dau emerging, the future looks bright for Fiji football.
