A spot in the FIFA Under 17 World Cup is at stake as the Digicel Bula Boys prepares to take on New Zealand in the semi final of the OFC Under 17 Championship tomorrow.

Coach Sunil Kumar says the players know what they will be playing for so they are all ready to give their best for that shot.

The coach says he has told the boys not to feel any pressure.

The Baby Bula Boys takes on New Zealand at 7pm at the HFC Bank Stadium tomorrow.

Tahiti takes on New Caledonia at 4pm in the first semi final.

The tournament serves as the Oceania qualifier for the FIFA Under 17 World Cup in Peru in November this year, with the top two nations going on to represent Oceania.
