Labasa keeper in Futsal side

Labasa soccer team goalkeeper Emori Ragata could not believe his luck, when he was called into the Fiji 5-a-side soccer team for the Oceania Futsal Soccer Championship.

Ragata made his name during the Vodafone Fiji Fact earlier this month and was also named the new find of the tournament.

He has replaced Suva's Azmat Begg, who is out with a broken jaw.

Ragata said he is happy to be recognized by Fiji FA officials for giving him the chance to represent the country.

Ragata will be trained by Fiji's number one goalkeeper Simione Tamanisau and could make his debut next week.

The Oceania Futsal Soccer championship kicks off next week at the Vodafone Arena.
