Former national and Nasinu goalkeeper Tagi Vonolagi has been appointed as the head coach for the Vodafone U16 Girls team which is preparing for OFC U16 Girls Championship in Tahiti.
Vonolagi has replaced former Rewa and national rep Marika Rodu.
Rodu has taken a leave of absence untill the 1st of November due to family commitments.
The under 16 girls’ team has marched into camp on Sunday afternoon and have started their preparation under Vonolagi.
Fiji FA Chief Executive Mohammed Yusuf says players will be camping at the Fiji FA Academy in Vatuwaqa for the next eight weeks.
Yusuf says Fiji FA has made arrangements for the girls to attend school in Suva during the day so that preparation for the championship does not affect their education.
“Transport to and from schools will also be provided for by the Fiji Football.”
Yusuf says the girls will then train under Coach Tagi Vonolagi in the evenings.
The OFC Women’s under 16 Championship will be held in Tahiti in the first quarter of this year.
