Fiji women’s football striker Cema Nasau has made an exciting leap in her career by signing with Eastern Suburb Football Club in New Zealand. At 25 years old and hailing from Ba, Nasau has distinguished herself as one of the finest strikers in Fiji. Her consistent performances in the Digicel Women’s Super League with the Ba Women’s team and her pride in representing her national team have made her a notable figure in Fijian football.
Fiji Football Association CEO Mohammed Yusuf expressed his pride in Nasau’s achievement, stating that her hard work and discipline have been rewarded with this professional contract. He emphasized that her talent has been recognized on an international level, marking a significant step in her career. Additionally, Yusuf highlighted that Nasau, along with three other Fijian women playing overseas, will join their national team for the OFC Women’s Nations Cup in Fiji this July, which is set to strengthen the squad.
Nasau’s signing is a part of a broader trend for Fijian female footballers, reflecting a growing recognition and opportunity for local talent on an international stage. Her journey from local grounds to a professional club is a source of inspiration for many young girls in Fiji who aspire to follow in her footsteps and pursue careers in football.
The increasing success of Fijian women in football, including recent contracts by players such as Adi Litia Bakaniceva and Angeline Rekha with clubs abroad, signals a hopeful future for women’s football in Fiji. With continued investment and support from the Fiji Football Association, there is optimism that more female athletes will have the opportunity to shine and make their mark globally.
