Fiji Football coaching panel on a lookout for midfielder and defender to join Fiji U23 team to Rio

The Fiji Football Association National coaching panel is on a lookout for a midfielder and a defender who will join the Vodafone Fiji Under 23 team for the Rio Olympics.

Assistant National coach, Imdad Ali says Roy Krishna has confirmed that he will be available to play for Fiji and they are now searching for two more players who will join the team.

Under Olympics eligibility rules for soccer, three overage players can be included in the National Under 23 team.

The dream to play for Fiji in the Olympics also increased the competitiveness amongst players in the pool matches of the Inkk Mobile BOG and the same is expected in the semi-finals and the final.

Ali says they will not make a decision soon but they will be seriously monitoring the performance of the key players.

Looking at the semi-finals of the Inkk Mobile BOG, Ba will face Nadi at 7pm this Thursday at Govind Park while Rewa will take on Suva at 7pm on Friday at Ratu Cakobau Park.

The final will be played at Ratu Cakobau Park on Sunday at 3pm.
