FIJI Futsal team is looking at revenge in this year’s Oceania Futsal championship by turning their defeat last year against Kurukuru Futsal with a must win.

Fiji Futsal Commission Secretary Jainendra Sukhu made the comments on yesterday as the Futsal squad continues its four day training camp in Suva, the Fiji Times online reported.

The report said that the Fiji Futsal team to the Oceania Futsal Championship this year will be a much better prepared side compared to team that represented Fiji last year.

Sukhu was quoted as saying they have learnt a lot from their preparations for last year's tournament and have worked out ways to improve their preparations this year.

"Last year we came into the OFC Futsal Championships straight after the Fiji Fact tournament."

"We had part of the team at the start of the tournament and the rest of the players joined after the end of the Fact tournament," Sukhu said.

Fiji lost to the Solomon Islands 5-3 during pool play but when they met again in the final Fiji was thrashed 8-1 infront of its home crowd. Sukhu said they want turn that around this time.

"We now have two months to prepare our team for the OFC Futsal tournament and I believe we should do better this year,"

"We know the Solomon Islands will be the favorites but we will coming better prepared this time and we want to finish on top," Mr Sukhu said online.

This year the Fiji’s Futsal team will be assisted during training by the Fiji FA Development Officers.
