Captain Estellle Kainamoli expressed confidence in her team’s preparations, acknowledging the challenges they face due to work and school commitments, which have made training time limited. However, she remains optimistic, stating, “My team and I are aiming to maintain our win from the last competition as we are the champions so far. Our preparations are going well together as a team.”
The Fiji Cup will take place from Thursday to Saturday at the FMF Gymnasium in Suva, and the excitement surrounding this event is palpable. As noted by various officials from Basketball Fiji, this tournament not only serves as a showcase of local talent but also acts as a crucial selection ground for coaches on the lookout for players who may represent Fiji at the upcoming 2025 Melanesia Cup in the Solomon Islands.
