After losing their first matches 4-0 and 4-2 the team lost its game against Avai FC 2-0 on Thursday.

Frank Farina told the Fiji FA, the team has started well in a couple of the matches but lost concentraton at crucial times.

Frank Farina said the tour is good preparation for the Olympics despite the losses.

"I'm learning about players, whether they are going to be capable at this level. This is their opportunity. They all know the structure, they all know what their jobs and roles are. I think it's most probably a good indicator for me as to who is going to be a part of this squad to go to the Olympics and who is not."
