The striker can’t hide her excitement after the Group F encounter.

“This is a source of great pride for the country. I’m very proud too, because it’s a first for me. It’s the first time we’ve been in the World Cup, and we’re a small country as well,” Kourevi was quoted by FIFA.com.

New Caledonia finished bottom of Group F with zero point from three games.
