The 2024 Women’s Inter District Championship commenced today at the Fiji FA Academy Ground in Vatuwaqa, featuring an exciting lineup of top teams from the Fiji FA Women’s Super League. This year’s tournament includes Rewa, Ba, Labasa, and Nadi, organized in a round-robin format to allow each team to showcase their skills.
Rewa Women’s team has notably strengthened their roster, having secured several key players from Labasa during the recent January transfer window. This includes their captain Jotivini Tabua, along with striker Sonia Alfred and midfielder Filomena Racea, which has raised expectations for the season.
Ba, who recently qualified for the OFC Women’s League, is set to compete with a full squad, making them a formidable opponent. On the other hand, Nadi Women’s team is being eyed as a potential dark horse, featuring emerging talent that could create surprises throughout the tournament. Labasa’s capacity to maintain their dominance is uncertain as they face the challenge of competing without some of their former star players.
The matches began today, starting with Labasa vs. Nadi at 1 PM, followed by a clash between Ba and Rewa at 3 PM. As the tournament unfolds over the next few days, it promises to deliver drama and showcase the talent within women’s football in Fiji, enhancing engagement in the sport and inspiring future athletes.
The community’s support for the teams is crucial, as the Championship not only emphasizes competitiveness but also spotlights the growth of women’s sports in the region. Football enthusiasts are encouraged to attend and cheer for their favorites, reinforcing the spirit of sportsmanship and unity that football fosters in the community.
