The Fiji Football Association is disappointed about our national U-20 team’s indiscipline in the match against the Indonesia U-20 side last night.
After receiving reports from the team management today, the President, Mr. Rajesh Patel and the board has taken following decisions:
1. The player in concern who received a red card because of the violent conduct is to be sent back to Fiji in the next available flight.
2. Further disciplinary action will be taken against him.
3. The team management has been directed to work on the discipline of the team, both on and off the field in preparation for the next match and onwards.
Our sincere apologies to the Indonesia team management, players and fans at large from both countries for what happened in the match and be rest assured that appropriate action is being taken.
“Fiji FA does not condone such behaviour from our national players in the team. We will come down hard on players bringing disrepute to football and the country,” Mr. Patel said.
