8 players from the Nix. Quite a contrast to the National girls U16 team that had only 1 Nix player. Boys on average moving to the Weenix Academy at a younger age than boys?
And none from Ole/Wests? Not that long ago they had big numbers in national age group sides.
Zero from the Sth Island, though there maybe some Mainland origin kids with the Nix.
Perez Baldoni sounds like one to watch. Remembering these U16s did well recently at that little tourney in Switzerland. The coach remains Martin Bullock, who will be busy preparing for annual U17 WCs (Nov this year) and U16 OFC tourneys.
π³πΏ SQUAD ANNOUNCED π¨
Confirming our team to compete in the OFC U-16 Menβs Championship 2025, the qualifying tournament for the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2026, taking place in Solomon Islands next month π
