Fiji U15 Head Coach Sunil Kumar has named his 23-member extended squad for the OFC Development Tournament which will be played in New Zealand next month.
Kumar said FIFA Talent Coach Dan Cooke played a huge role in selecting the best players.
“We had 31 players for the final trials last weekend and with the support of the technical department and Cooke we have named a 23-member extended squad,” he told Fiji FA Media.
“We will have approximately two weeks of preparation before heading to New Zealand.”
“We have three goalkeepers and 20 field players named in the squad but only 18 players will travel to New Zealand.”
“It was very challenging to select the best squad we had set criteria which were used to pick the best 23 players, “said Kumar
The tournament will be played from 11-17 April in Auckland.
