"Nadi has built a strong identity over the decades and has been one of the top teams in the coun­try."

Azimullah acknowledged the hard work of the Nadi Football Association officials and said Pa­cific Heavy Industries was com­mitted to supporting local teams.

''As a local business, we want to support local teams and build strong relationships with the community," he said.
