This year’s edition presents a new challenge, as the senior women’s side will face an Asian opponent for the first time— the Thailand U-20 Women’s team
Suri emphasized that such matchups are crucial for the squad’s development as they prepare for the OFC Women’s Nations Cup later in July.
Suri also noted the team’s runner-up finish in the inaugural 2022 competition and acknowledged the improvements made so far in strengthening the team’s level of competition.
He remains confident that the experience gained from these tournaments continues to be an invaluable learning curve for women’s football and contributes to its growth and the nation’s standing in Oceania.
