Fiji – Away – 2000

I’ve had the Fiji home shirt from 2001 in my collection for year, one of my best find in the early days. A very unique design, by an unheard of manufacturer. Oddly I cannot find any photos of the away shirts being in use. I guess the only time one would ever be needed would have been away games against New Zealand. This may explain why the blue shirt seems to be far more common that the white version.

Fiji were drawn along side Australia, Tonga, Samoa and American Samoa. They won 3 of their 4 matches, scoring 27 goals in the process. 13 of those goals came against American Samoa and another 8 against Tonga. They did well to lonly lose 2-0 to Australia who managed to finish with a goal difference of +66.
