Vanuatu club Champion, Erakor Golden Star has completed their Vanuatu dream on the island of Tanna when they won the VFF TVL Cup.
The team is also the new Vanuatu Football Club Champions and now their main focus is the OFC Champions League 2017 in Tahiti next month.
Erakor Golden Star long time team manager, Donald Wanemut said their mission in Vanuatu was completed successfully last week when they won the TVL Cup and now their focus is Tahiti.
“To be honest our players have been working really hard since October last year 2016.” said Donald Wanemut.
“Our focus since October last year was the PVFA Premier League which we worked hard and become the new champions of Port Vila in December and just after two weeks we have to prepare for the PVFA Top Four again in the same month.”
” Our players worked hard in training under coach Etienne Mermer and we won the competition and secured our place in the OFC Champions League competition for the first time which is a great news for our village.”
“And just last month we have to travel to Santo to play two friendly matches with Malampa Revivors FC.”
“Our last focus last week is the VFF TVL cup which we won the final against Nalkutan and we are the new champions of Vanuatu and also that’s a great news for our village and club but now our focus is the OFC Champions League in Tahiti.”
“Our players worked really hard in training for the last two months which is not easy for them and on behalf of our executive, I want to thank the player’s dedication and also thank Coach Etienne Mermer and his coaching team for their time and hard work.”
“What we really need now is the team spirit with all of us, players, coaches, management and fans before we depart for Tahiti.”
“The other thing is Erakor Golden Star FC is organizing a special fundraising this Friday 24 February 2017 at 5pm at Erakor House near Korman Runabout and we are asking all the soccer fans to come and support us.”
“We are now representing Vanuatu Football Federation and the people of Vanuatu in the Champions League competition same as Malampa Revivors FC and we need the fans to support us.” Wanemut said.
