President’s Corner

Bula Vinaka and welcome to another week of football.
2018 kicked off with a bang last weekend as Labasa were crowned the champions of Fijian football after defeating a formidable Lautoka side 1-0 in the west.
This came as a surprise to many fans as plenty neutrals had thought it would have been an easy ride for
Lautoka considering their performance throughout 2017.
Congratulations to Labasa and their fans on winning the Pillay Garments
Champion versus Champion series. We started our Vodafone Premier League season with three great matches last Sunday. While, Lautoka, Suva and Nadi started on a winning note, nothing can be taken away from the other teams as the competition has just started.
Speaking of the OFC Champions
League, the two Fiji representatives
for this year, Ba and Lautoka were
given their preparation grants of
$50,000 each.
An advantage to the teams in this
year’s competition is that two teams
from each pool will qualify for the
quarter-finals increasing the chance
of our local teams.
I wish both the teams all the very
best and hope to see them make the
quarter-finals.
Until next week, Ni sa moce
