The Fiji national men’s football team will play an international friendly against Bangladesh in Fiji during the June FIFA international window.
Fiji FA President Rajesh Patel said discussions were also underway to organise a Tri-Nations tournament, with Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) showing interest, while Hong Kong has also requested to play Fiji.
Patel said Fiji FA is working to finalise the participating teams to ensure the national side gains maximum exposure during the June window.
“We are trying to rope in another country for a possible tri-nations tournament,” Patel said.
Looking ahead, Patel confirmed that Fiji will host the Prime Minister’s Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) Cup in late September, which will be played during a FIFA international window.
He said the tournament could see the Bula Boys playing two international matches, with further details to be confirmed closer to the event.
Patel said hosting international fixtures at home was important for player development and for raising the standard of football in the country.
