Six more players have been called in to join the Fiji women’s training squad for the 2010 Oceania Football Confederation Women’s Nations Cup preparation.
Team manager Jackie Chambers confirmed the six players called in had impressed the selectors during the Battle of the Giants women competition recently held in Nadi.

“These players performed really well at the BOG and the selectors decided to give them a chance to fight for a national jumper,” Chambers said.
“They now need to prove themselves to be worthy of being selected in the final squad.”
“The six have joined camp and are training regularly with the 26-member squad. I would like to thank the squad who has been working very hard. It comes to show that all the squad members are determined for a spot,” Chambers said.
The Fiji women’s squad has been in camp for the past two months.
Fiji has been drawn into Group B alongside Tonga, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea at the OFC Women’s Nations Cup.
