“The First Kurukuru squad selected for the next FIFA window as we’ll play in the Melanesian Futsal Cup with Fiji (hosts), Vanuatu, and New Caledonia.”
“Can’t wait to see these boys in action. 3 debuts and also a chance for the senior players to show me they still deserve to be part of the squad. Matches on 12th v New Caledonia, 13th v Vanuatu, 15th v Fiji and a final or 3rd place match on 16th. Huge thank you to the staff at SIFF for working hard to get this last-minute tournament together.”
