It is highly likely that Wellington Phoenix star Roy Krishna, Ba defender Alvin Singh and Rewa goalkeeper Simione Tamanisau will be part of the Vodafone Fiji Under 23 soccer team to the Rio Olympics next month.

Under the FIFA eligibility rules for soccer in Olympics, three senior players can be part of the Under 23 side.

Fijivillage has received confirmation that Krishna, Singh and Tamanisau are the only senior players currently in the squad as Samuela Kautoga has pulled out due to personal reasons.

The 18-member Vodafone Fiji Under 23 soccer team for the Rio Games will be announced in Ba tomorrow.

Fiji will play Republic of Korea at 11am on the 5th of next month in its first Olympic Games match.

Fiji’s second match will be against Mexico at 4am on the 8th of August while we will face Germany at 7am on the 11th of August.
