Young Kulas Coach Angeline Chua says if they had to, they’d row across the Pacific in a canoe to get to Colombia for their first FIFA under 20 Women’s World Cup.

Speaking to Inside FIFA, she says they’re delighted to be able to make their debut on the world stage and to showcase the beautiful and positive spirit that is driving this new generation of female Fijian players.

The national coach goes on to say that they intend to continue developing talent to ensure Fiji’s participation at all youth World Cups in the future.
