For the first time, the Vanuatu National Football team worshipped together in a Seventh-day Adventist Church. The team attended the Portoroki Seventh-day Adventist church before playing their Oceania Champions grand final match against New Zealand on June 30, 2024.

While only two of the squad members are Adventist, the team and their coach came together in prayer and praise. The church leaders called the players to the front and offered a special prayer for them and their officials. They also received a copy of The Great Controversy Ended by Ellen White.
