The OFC Pro League bursts into action today with a doubleheader at Eden Park. 

There will be another 10 matches at North Harbour Stadium over the next seven days. 

It features eight teams from Pacific nations, Australia and New Zealand, and is the first fully professional football league to be established in the Oceania region.  

Roy Krishna is preparing to lead Bula FC into the first match, and told Piney it’s a huge moment for the Fijian club.  

He says they’ve been waiting for these opportunities and struggling to get in the A-Leagues, so having something in the backyard is a great platform, especially for younger players.
