The squad lists for all 11 nations taking part in the OFC U-19 Championship 2022 in Tahiti next month have been confirmed.
The tournament runs from September 8-25 (New Zealand time), with the top two teams qualifying through to represent Oceania at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Indonesia 2023™.
Others taking part back in their age-group after travelling with their national senior team this year are Fiji’s Nabill Begg, who made his debut in Qatar in a friendly against Vanuatu, and Tahitian keeper Anapa Debruyne.
New Zealand, who have won the past two additions of the tournament, are coached by New Zealand senior team assistant Darren Bazeley, while the Cook Islands will be coached by Tahiri Elikana, who recently starred at the OFC Champions League.
