Congratulations to Year 10 student Aimee Beck, who has been selected for the New Zealand squad competing at next month’s OFC Under-15 Girls Youth Development Tournament in Fiji.
This is the first time New Zealand Football has sent a female age-group team to the tournament, making Aimee’s selection particularly special as part of the inaugural squad.
The OFC U-15 Girls Youth Development Tournament, held in partnership with UEFA, provides young footballers from across Oceania with valuable experience in an international tournament environment. The tournament supports long-term player development through high-quality coaching, competition and national team exposure.
Aimee is one of 16 players selected from across Aotearoa New Zealand, representing each of the country’s six football federations. The team will compete in Lautoka, Fiji, from 4–12 May, facing New Caledonia, Fiji and the Cook Islands in pool play.
New Zealand Football Girls Pathway Lead Alana Gunn said the tournament provides “a valuable opportunity for a group of players to experience a national team environment at this stage of their development”.
We congratulate Aimee on this outstanding achievement and wish her and the New Zealand team all the very best for the tournament.
