Bula FC’s star striker, Roy Krishna, has expressed the team’s enthusiasm and commitment as they prepare for their inaugural match in the OFC Professional League, set for tomorrow. The seasoned forward has relayed that the past two weeks of training have been particularly rigorous as the players acclimate to the demands of a professional setting. With match week upon them, Krishna noted an air of excitement within the camp.
He shared, “The last two weeks were very intense. This week has been a little slower, but we’re really excited to finally play our first match on Saturday.” As a veteran in both his club and the league, Krishna has naturally stepped into a mentoring position, guiding younger teammates who are stepping into professional football for the first time.
Drawing from his wealth of international experience, Krishna emphasizes the importance of discipline and accountability, valuable lessons he hopes to instill in the next generation of footballers. He believes that the introduction of the OFC Professional League marks a transformative moment for football in the region, despite the challenges that clubs may face in adapting to new professional standards.
Moreover, Krishna reached out to fans, encouraging them to maintain their support during this significant phase. “Just keep praying for us back home. And to everyone in Oceania, support your teams and love football,” he stated.
Looking ahead, Bula FC is set to compete against Vanuatu United FC this Saturday in New Zealand, a match that promises to be a milestone for the club and its supporters. The launch of the league is a beacon of hope for the growth of football in Oceania, fostering greater progress in the sport’s local development.
