The Digicel Women's football team are all set to play the Philippines on Thursday.
Coach Lisa Cole said the 24-member squad had already played warm-up matches against West Field Sports High and APIA Leichardt FC.
The tour is our women's buildup for this year's OFC Nations Cup which will be played here.
"Our main objective from this tour is to give more game time to the girls.
"Also it will give me the opportunity to see how the players perform in their respective positions," Cole told Fiji FA Media.
"So far I have seen them doing well in training but I want to see how they play against other opponents.
"We are playing all good teams and the girls will have more exposure playing against them,
"I want to see the best from the players and if they don't perform to my expectation I will for sure get in other players as the door is still open,
"This tour will also give me an opportunity to work out our weaknesses and build up a good combination and structure in the team,"
The team return on April 12.
