The national soccer team remains in high spirit to defend the gold medal in tomorrow's opening game against Tuvalu, although the side is facing accommodation difficulties for the Pacific Games in Samoa.
The side spends the night sleeping in a classroom last night but the morale remains high in camp to start their opening game on a winning note.
Coach Carlos Buzzetti said that this hic-cup has given the boys a lot to play for in the Pacific Games.
Fiji will take on Tuvalu tomorrow at 5pm.
Meanwhile, most members of Team Fiji to the Pacific Games in Samoa, will jet out of the country tonight, aiming to finish on a high note after the two weeks competition.
The team will depart the Tattersalls Leisure Centre for Nadi at 7:15pm before checking in at Nadi airport at 11:15pm.
The opening ceremony will be held in Apia on Sunday at 4pm, Fiji Time.
