Nadi’s top choice goalkeeper Vereti Dickson is likely to lead the Esy Kool/Kris Transport sponsored Nadi Football team at the 2020 Vodafone Fiji FACT.
The Green Machine is the defending champions and will take on host Lautoka at the Churchill Park, Lautoka in their opening pool match.
Dickson said: “There is a lot of pressure to defend any title. The boys are preparing well.”
Head coach Kamal Swamy said: “It will be very tough to play on Lautoka home soil. It will be a challenge for us. We respect Lautoka but we will do our best.
“I know Anjinesh Prasad (Lautoka Coach) and Ravinesh Kumar. He has done well for the team. This year Lautoka played in the semi-final in Suva. Definitely, they are in serious business.”
Nadi is beaming with confidence with the inclusion of Shivneel Pillay, Seru Naikaci, Joel Severo, Netani Kacanavesi, Tevita Ravia.
“We have recruited so many young players. We are going in as a development team as we focus on the next season. We will try our best to win the tournament as well,” he said.
