Navua FC’s head coach, Babs Khan, expressed his appreciation for the attendance of Namosi Paramount Chief, Ratu Suliano Matanitobua, at their Extra Premier League match where they secured a 1-0 victory over Suva. Khan highlighted the significance of the chief’s presence, stating that it demonstrated the support from the Vanua, which instilled a sense of determination in his players to perform their best.
Khan remarked, “We would like to thank Ratu Suli. We got the support of the Vanua, and that is a big thing for us. I told the boys we should be thankful that we have a big chief who comes and supports the team. I don’t know of or see any other districts having their chiefs coming to the grounds and supporting the team.” This sentiment echoes the importance of community support in sports, which serves as motivation for the players to strive for excellence.
