The Fiji Kulas are aiming to continue their strong start to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 qualifying campaign when they take on Papua New Guinea today at 4R Stadium at Govind Park.

The hosts began their campaign dominantly, securing a convincing 5-nil win over New Caledonia and thrilling the home crowd in Ba with an impressive attacking performance.

However, they face a confident PNG side that also opened their Oceania Qualifiers campaign with a commanding 5-nil victory over Vanuatu.

With both teams tied on points and goal difference, today’s winner will move to the top of Group B and take a crucial step toward qualification.

Kick-off is at 4pm.

In other matches, New Caledonia will face Vanuatu at the same venue.
