Tonga’s national football team is set to play two friendly matches against two Fijian clubs later this month as part of their preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) Qualifiers.
The matches aim to build the team’s competitiveness and fine-tune their tactics ahead of the qualifying campaign.
The first match will see Tonga take on Nadi FC on August 28 at Prince Charles Park, a venue known for its vibrant football atmosphere and passionate fans.
Following this, Tonga will face Ba FC on August 31 at the Fiji Football Association Academy Ground in Ba, offering another opportunity to test their skills against strong opposition.
These fixtures are more than just warm-up games for the Tongan side; they serve as stratefic opportunities to assess the team’s readiness and make necessary strategic adjustments before entering the intense World Cup qualifiers.
Playing against established teams like Nadi and Ba, both with rich histories and strong performances in Fijian football, will provide Tonga with valuable experience and exposure to different playing styles.
