Reggae Boyz Under-15 coach Lewin Purser says the entire camp is excited, rather than overawed, after being drawn against Portugal in their Tier B round-of-32 match at the FIFA Under-15 World Cup and Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan, today at 3:45 a.m. local time.

Purser said the team has focused primarily on mental preparation ahead of the contest and will enter the match without fear, believing they have what it takes to beat the Portuguese and advance to the next round.
