The Junior Bula Boys finished their first FIFA U-17 World Cup campaign with a brave effort, losing 7–nil to Argentina in their final group match.

The team showed good teamwork and spirit, defending strongly against one of the top teams in the tournament.

Goalkeeper Melvin Prakash saved an early penalty and made several great saves during the match.

Argentina were leading 3–0nil at half-time.

Even with Argentina’s strong attack, Fiji kept fighting.

The result didn’t go their way, but the Junior Bula Boys can be proud of what they’ve achieved.

Their debut at the FIFA U-17 World Cup is a big step for Fijian football and the team showed heart, determination and growth on the world stage.
