Fiji Under 19 football coach Marika Rodu acknowledges his team’s unique challenges as they prepare to represent the country in the upcoming tournament.
The pressure is particularly intense compared to the two teams that have represented the country in the OFC U19 Championship over the past two years.
Rodu emphasizes the importance of staying calm, collected, and confident when facing their first opponents on Friday. Balancing emotions is crucial for winning the tournament.
Rodu also notes the hectic process of finding the right mix of boys, as local competitions have molded the players well. The U19 boys were given a heartfelt farewell at the Fiji Football Ba Academy.
