πΌπΈβ€οΈπ€ FROM SAMOA TO THE WORLD πβ½
What a journey! π¦πΏβ¨
Our Samoa U-15 team proudly finished 166th out of 189 nations at the inaugural FIFA Youth World Cup & Festival in Azerbaijan, ranking 4th among OFC nations, behind only New Caledonia, Tahiti, and New Zealand. ππΌπΈ
But this campaign was about much more than rankings. It was about representing our nation with pride, competing against the world's best young talents, building lifelong friendships, and gaining experiences that will help shape the future of Samoan football. πβ½
A special celebration for Lepea FC's own Eliahs Hazelman-Siona and Tuimareko Desmond Edward, who proudly wore the Samoa jersey on the world stage. Your journey from the fields of Lepea to an international tournament is proof that hard work, dedication, and belief can take you anywhere. π
You have made your families, your club, your community, and your country proud. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for you both and for this talented Samoa U-15 team.
From Lepea to Azerbaijan. From dreams to reality. The journey is only just beginning. πΌπΈβ€οΈπ€
