In response to FiHami's decision to play in the FWC for the first time, mass protests have erupted. Tikiri'i reportedly shut down as over 200 protestors took to the streets in order to protest the game, citing backwards beliefs in reference to separating men and women into teams.

"This is very backwards for FiHami to participate in. We have always played sports together. In unity. Separating the teams just seems wrong!" Commented a protestor who wishes to remain anonymous.

FiHami Empress Phoenix the Unknown stands firm in her decision to participate.

"Yes, the teams will be separated, I myself don't like the idea. But, this will be a chance to restore some national pride to our nation, forge friendships with other nations, and share our culture with the rest of this world."

The coaches for both teams have already been selected. Tryouts are being held from today and tomorrow. Team selection will be posted Thursday.
