Kiama Junior Football Club has announced the upcoming international tour of its all-girls team to Fiji for the highly anticipated Ultimate Fiji Soccer Cup. The tournament, scheduled for early December, will see 14 young players from KJFC's U10 and U11 girls teams showcasing their skills on a global platform.

Accompanied by coaches, club officials, and an enthusiastic group of over 30 family supporters, this trip goes beyond mere competition. It presents a unique opportunity for these young athletes to immerse themselves in Fijian culture, cultivate international friendships, and actively participate in community outreach initiatives.

Throughout their stay in Fiji, the team will engage in a diverse array of activities, including competitive matches and friendly games against local Fijian sides. Beyond the soccer field, they will explore Fijian villages and schools, interacting with locals and gaining insights into Fijian traditions and customs.

This year's expedition follows the success of the KJFC U12 boys team tour of Fiji in December 2022, which garnered tremendous enthusiasm and support.

A notable highlight of the journey is the coaching leadership provided by A-League star Caitlin Jarvie. Her expertise and passion for the sport will serve as a valuable asset, inspiring and guiding the girls throughout their time in Fiji.

Andrew Wales, President of KJFC, stated, "We take immense pride in our all-girls team and the incredible opportunities this trip will offer them.

It's not just about competition; it's a celebration of cultural exchange and personal growth. We extend our gratitude to our club members, coaches, and families for making this adventure possible."

Alan Appleby, Coaching Coordinator at KJFC, emphasised, "Experiences like these are vital for the holistic development of young athletes. The chance to play soccer in a different environment and connect with peers from other countries is truly invaluable."

Kiama Junior Football Club eagerly anticipates supporting their all-girls team in Fiji and wishes them the best of luck in the Ultimate Fiji Soccer Cup. Stay updated on their journey and achievements by following the club's Facebook page.
