The Vodafone Fiji Under 23 soccer team will be counting on home turf advantage as they take on New Zealand in the semi-final of the OFC Men’s Olympic Qualifier tournament today at Churchill Park.

Fiji will be hoping to make the most of their familiarity with Churchill Park following their three previous outings there.

Group A winners New Zealand will need to adjust quickly to the conditions in Lautoka after spending the past fortnight in Suva.

Fiji and New Zealand match will kick off at 12pm while Vanuatu faces Solomon Islands at 3.30pm today.

The final will be played at 3pm this Saturday.
