IDC lights up Nadi
THE final soccer tournament is expected to light Nadi Town as fans will make their way into Prince Charles Park to witness local soccer and those who can’t make it to the ground I’m sure will be entertained by the “Voice of Soccer” Ray Stoddart with his commentaries.
Although the excitement for soccer has died after the U23 team lost to NZ, fans will support their districts.
Day one produced some exciting results as Ba outclassed Tavua (2-0), Nasinu beat Rewa (2-1), Nadi upset Suva (2-1) and the Lions were unlucky to concede a goal in the dying moment and finish day one with a point.
In the senior grade Navua, Nadroga and Lami look top bets.
Thus, my best wishes to the Lions as the northern bullets prepare to take home the crown that they last won in 2016 in Suva!
Red fire!

Fiji soccer
I BELIEVE Fiji soccer is dead. Only bazaar games.
More officials are in FIFA than players.
Look at Fiji rugby.
Players in elite competitions all over the world.
World Cup. Sevens works cup winners, numerous titles in sevens and individual awards.
You name it. Great work Fiji rugby players and officials.
It is time to organise a national symposium. Critical thinkers, visionary leaders and prominent old and young players should be invited to map a way forward.
In the meantime bazaar soccer can continue and why not?
Solutions are there but we need to make hard decisions and have a strong and effecive leadership team. ASISH VINAY PRASAD
