President of the Football Federation of American Samoa Faiivae Iuli Alex Godinet says it’s a great achievement for the association, to have one of their members, especially vice-president Sandra Fruean, sit on FIFA’s highest committee, the FIFA Council.

Fruean, after being involved with the sport of soccer in American Samoa a year short of 30 years, is still in a state of euphoria after receiving an equivalent of a lifetime achievement award by gaining a seat on the newly formed, FIFA Council.

She said, “Up until now, it’s a feeling that I cannot even believe.

“It’s amazing because this is a position usually given only to presidents of Confederations, and associations.”

Fruean was thankful to FFAS President Faiivae Iuli Alex Godinet for nominating her to a position that he as president was eligible for.

“It’s a feeling of joy and thankful to our president for this opportunity that he gave me because it was a nomination he could have used for himself,” she explained.

“But our president gave it up, and asked the OFC president that he will nominate me for the OFC’s female position on the FIFA Council.

“It is unbelievable that he would give up a position for himself and give it to me!” Fruean exclaimed.

Even after a week since being elected, she said she still cannot believes the honor she has achieved.
