Patel urges fans to back Kulas in World Cup quest

Fiji Football Association president Rajesh Patel has called on fans to turn up in numbers and support the Fiji Women’s National Team when they begin their FIFA Women’s World Cup Oceania Qualifiers campaign at 4R Stadium at Govind Park in Ba on Friday.

With free entry for all matches, Patel said there was no better time for supporters to rally behind the Kulas as they chase a historic World Cup berth.

“This is a big moment for women’s football in Fiji and we want the whole nation to be part of it,” Patel said.

“We have made entry free because we want families, young girls and football fans to come out and support the team.”

The Kulas open their campaign against New Caledonia on Friday at 4pm. They will then face Papua New Guinea on March 2 before meeting Vanuatu at 4pm on March 5.
