Pukekohe AFC 12th grader Hannah Kraakman (right) is part of a squad of 12 Auckland Football Federation players selected to travel to Noumea on Tuesday for the week-long Oceania Football Confederation Youth Festival tournament.

Hannah, who plays for the 12th grade Blue side, was one of 36 players involved in the Auckland Football Federation Term 1 Centre of Excellence programme and was chosen as one of the two girls to make the trip to Noumea.

Her team mates Olivia Willets and Nikita Lieshout were also part of the Centre of Excellence.

Hannah's mother Rose and older sister Nicole, both members of the Pukekohe AFC women's first team, have made the trip to support Hannah.
