As Extra Bula FC arrives in Papua New Guinea for their OFC Pro League Round 2 match against Solomon Kings FC this Sunday, captain Roy Krishna says the players are ready and looking forward to the challenge.
Krishna says they know many of the Solomon Islands players from international duty and recognise that they are a strong side.
However, he says the team will focus on its own performance and on executing what needs to be done on the field to secure a positive result.
Krishna has also called on fans to turn out in numbers to support the team.
