THE Fiji Under-20 side has one more obstacle to overcome to qualify to the U20 World Championship next year.

The Koli Sewabu-coached side plays Samoa in the final of the World U20 Trophy Challenge in Romainia tomorrow.

Both teams remain unbeaten after pool play and a tough final is anticipated when the Pacific neighbours collide.

Fiji last played in the World Championship in 2014 where they finished last and got demoted.

Since then, the side is still trying to qualify to the top division.

Fiji plays Samoa at 4am tomorrow.
