Muliagatele announces Manu Samoa 7’s Squad for the Paris Olympic Games 2024

Manu Samoa 7s Head Coach, Muliagatele Fata Brian Lima, has officially announced the squad to represent Samoa in the upcoming Paris Olympic Games 2024 at Stade de France, St Denis, France on 25th to 28th July 2024.

Samoa is in Pool B, alongside Australia, Argentina and Kenya. Samoa will kick off their campaign on Thursday 25th July at 2:30am against Australia (Samoan local time).

The lineup sees the selection of Lalomilo Lalomilo and the return of Alamanda Motuga set to bolster a squad that has been riddled with injuries and in dire need of an x-factor component to propel the team forward. Additionally, the team welcomes back Vaovasa Afa Su’a, Paul Scanlan, BJ Telefoni Lima and Tom Maiava who have recovered from injuries sustained recently.
