Samoa's champion club, Kiwi FC, have captured the hearts of audiences at the Oceania Football Women's Champions League tournament in Papua New Guinea.
New Caledonian team AS Academy Feminine won the inaugural competition which ended last year.
Unfortunately, Samoa was unsuccessful throughout the tournament.
But despite the results, the team - who entered as underdogs - became fan favourites for the passion and determination showed in their games.
The star attraction for Kiwi FC was 13-year-old Samoan soccer player Florencina Kalifa.
In a tournament, where players are mainly aged 20 and over, Florencina managed to score a goal against eventual finalists Solomon Islands club Koloale FC.
