Waranivalu expressed contentment with the team's performance, particularly their resilience after an initial loss. "This is the path we’ve chosen, our start in the tournament is not that good even though we went down in the first game we bounced back and managed to find a way to the semifinals," he said. The team is counting on the strong home support from their fans when they take on the 13-time champions.

The first semifinal will see Rewa host Auckland in Ba at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. The second semifinal will feature Galaxy FC against Central Coast FC at 7 p.m.
