Five soccer players have been suspended from all levels of soccer for three years and have also been fined $5,000 each.

Rewa’s Iosefo Verevou, Ba’s Avneel Kumar and Waisea Yavala  while Lautoka’s Samuela Qoro and Kelvin Naidu broke camp during a tour in New Zealand with the Fiji Under 20 soccer team.

This incident took place just weeks before the OFC Under 20 Championship which Fiji won at the ANZ stadium.
