As it was previously reported, Fiji Football Association set a partnership to send young Fijian players to Australia. Five players are going to join Frankston Pine FC in January: Ba midfielder Kishan Sami, Nasinu goalkeeper Mohammed Alzaar Alam, Rewa midfielder Savenaca Baledrokadroka, Lauto­ka midfielder Shivam Naidu and Nadi striker Tito Vodowaqa. All of them played the OFC Olympic Qualifier this year.

According to Victorian Multicultural Sports Association president Vishwar Ku­mar, the players will join the team later in January when their paperwork is done. The five play­ers will sign contracts and work in Melbourne until they can secure professional contracts with A-League teams.

Frankston Pines play in State League Division 3. This club is based in Frankston North, a suburb from Melbourne.
