Veve, who captained Tonga at their maiden World Cup appearance in South Africa earlier this year, will again lead the Tala at the Pacific Games netball competition from 27 November to December 2 in Honiara.
The World No.8 is the highest-ranked nation competing in the tournament and has their eyes on going one better than their runner-up finish in 2019 and securing their first netball gold medal.
Contested since 1963, the five-day tournament features nine nations divided into two pools and Veve is just one of many athletes with Queensland links set to take part.
Firebirds Futures Academy pair Abigail Latu-Meafou and Losa Niumata have been named in Samoa’s team, with TAE Aerospace Jets coach Paula Stuart travelling as an assistant coach.
HART Sapphire Series players Nora Misa and Naomi Solomona are also in the Samoa selection.
The PNG Pepes boast a squad with strong Queensland links including ACU Brisbane North Cougar Jayden Molo, Sunshine Coast Thunder pair Michaela Kadlecek and Yves Chee as well as Carina Leagues Club Tigers duo Hana Barretto and Maddie Sivyer.
PacificAusSport Immersion athletes Goloa Ovoa, Lesieli Taviri and Shannaz Apelis have also been selected by the Pepes with Tia Molo and Milly Chee among the non-travelling reserves.
Former Northern Rays player Unaisi Rauluni and Tigers Ruby Series player Naviniya Sivo are among the Fiji Pearls squad while Brisbane South Wildcats rising star Tahlia Evans will represent Norfolk Islands.
The 17th Pacific Games begin on November 19 with netball one of 24 sports being contested by the 24 participating nations. For more information on the Games, visit the official website here.
