The Fiji team is in for an uphill battle as they take on the defending champions of the OFC Futsal Championship, the Solomon Islands, tonight.

Both Fiji and the Kurukurus from the Solomons started off with a win last night after they won their respective games.

Fiji captain Kamal Hassan said the game against the Kurukurus will be tough and his boys will have to work hard on their possession if they are to win.

Meanwhile, Solomon Islands coach Dickson Kadau said his boys lost their tempo in their first game last night and will have to pull up on their defense to maintain their winning streak.

In tonight's matches, at 6pm Vanuatu meet New Caledonia and at 8pm Fiji take on the Solomon Islands.
