International Career
Vahirua gained his first cap for France on 21 January 1990, in a friendly home with Kuwait (1–0), and scored his only goal in another friendly, against Belgium in preparation for the UEFA Euro 1992 (3–3), on 25 March.
Summoned for the final stages by the coach who also gave him his debut, Michel Platini, Vahirua played twice in an eventual group stage exit, and was also part of the nation's infamous 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, with two home losses in the final two rounds.
With a total of 22 internationals, Vahirua was the first Polynesian ever to don the French shirt.
