And head coach Gurjit Singh, said they were out for nothing less than a positive start to their campaign. #Fiji has been seeded in Group B alongside Tahiti, Cook Islands, Kiribati and Papua New Guinea.#Defending champion and host New Caledonia head Group A, they will be challenged by Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Guam and American Samoa. #“Tahiti will be a very strong side and since it is the first game both sides will be out for a victory. We have been grouped in a very competitive pool with sides like Tahiti, Papua New Guinea and we cannot afford to underestimate any opponent. But overall we will be out for a win in our first match,” Singh said.#The national coach said that the preparation time may be a factor against them. #“I would have liked to have played few more games as a build-up. At the Pacific Games we will be up against some sides that have been preparing since last year. We on the other hand had very short time to prepare. It would be a huge task for us but I back the boys to stand up and face the challenge,” he said. #Singh is being assisted by former Labasa coach Bal Sanju Reddy and Tavua mentor Kamal Swamy. #The national side last Thursday completed their two international match series over Samoa on a positive note. They beat Samoa 5-1 at the TFL National Stadium in Suva following a 3-0 victory a day prior at Thomson Park in Navua. #Singh has urged the general public to rally their support behind the national side. #FIJI FA NATIONAL MEN’S FOOTBALL TEAM #PACIFIC GAMES 2011 #20 -MEMBER TRAVELLING SQUAD#1.
