In 2022, he was identified as one of the promising Fijian footballers who would make up the next generation of the country's national team.[7] In February 2023, at age seventeen, he accepted a call-up to the Fiji under-20 team for a training camp ahead of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, despite being on the radar of the English FA.[8][9] About the call up, Laqeretabua said, "It has always been my dream to be called up to play for my parents' country of birth."[10][11] He went on to be part of Fiji's final squad for the tournament, making two appearances.[12][13][14]
