Their schedule sees them face Ba on Friday at 1pm, Rewa on Saturday at 3pm and their last pool game against Suva on Sunday at 12pm. Newly-appointed coach Kamal Swamy believes his main area of focus is Ɲtness and assisting the players to understand the game.

“The pool is equally divided, and we are grouped with experience­d teams such as Rewa, Ba but we are fortunate to be in the top eight and be part of this competitio­n.

“Our main focus is to improve on our Ɲtness and work with these young players to understand the game,” Swamy said.

Swamy, who is a schoolteac­her by profession, expressed great respect for their opponents.

“Suva, Ba, Rewa are all good and experience­s teams, and we have a lot of respect for them, but we will do our part and make our fans happy,” he added.

Despite not having big names to bolster their campaign, Swamy has faith in his players.

“Majority of our players are youth players, and we will give them an opportunit­y to shine, all the players in our squad are capable of producing positive results,” he added.

The Nadroga FC team is looking forward to showcasing their talent and determinat­ion on the Ɲeld.

With a focus on Ɲtness and team cohesion, they are prepared to take on the challenges of the tournament and make a signiƝcant impact.

Fans can expect a dynamic and spirited performanc­e as Nadroga FC aims to prove themselves against some of the top teams in the competitio­n.
