Oceania Football partners with English FA to help Pacific mentors

The pilot programme targets Tonga, Solomon Islands and Fiji, and is spread across five 90-minute sessions, which are being delivered online in the wake of Covid-19.

Facilitated by English FA experts, Les Howie and Steve Smithies, the aim was to help participants gain the knowledge and expertise to become mentors in their environments.

OFC Head of Social Responsibility, Melissa Palombi, said they had talented people doing great work across the Pacific and this partnership would enhance the skills and knowledge they already had in leadership and mentoring.
