In Fiji:
The Kiribati men’s football team has withdrawn from the Pacific Games.
It means there will now only be 12 countries and territories competing in the football rounds: Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Tahiti, Tonga, Tuvalu, Samoa, Cook Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, American Samoa, and the Northern Marianas.
Kiribati athletes will still be attending the games to compete in other sports.
The Micronesian nation’s last appearance in men’s football was during the 2011 games in New Caledonia.
Football matches for the games will kick off on 17 November.
