A team’s unwavering focus during the full 90 minutes of play will be crucial in the highly anticipated semi-finals of the 2025 Extra Battle of the Giants tournament. This insight comes from Roy Krishna, a prominent figure in Fijian football, who recently attended the group matches at Subrail Park in Labasa.
The semi-finals will see Extra Supermarket Labasa going head-to-head with River Tubing Fiji/Classic Tours & Rentals Navua at 2 PM, followed by Lincoln Rewa taking on Paradise Seafood Supplies Lautoka at 4:30 PM. Notably, all four teams have also ranked as the top contenders in the Extra Premier League standings this season.
Krishna emphasized the significance of maintaining concentration throughout the match, especially during critical moments. “The teams are prepared, they have great coaches, so it will be exciting, but it all comes down to who is more focused not just in five or ten minutes but in the dying minutes as well,” he stated. He further added that teamwork and preparation will be the keys to victory for any of the competing teams.
In a related note, the Fiji Football Association has announced that tickets for both the semi-finals and finals are selling rapidly, with VIP tickets already sold out. This enthusiasm reflects the growing support for football in Labasa, where local fans are excitedly rallying behind their teams.
The tournament not only showcases the remarkable skills of local players but also serves to strengthen community bonds and promote sports tourism in the region, as noted by past articles. This supportive atmosphere fosters a hopeful sentiment as the teams embark on what promises to be a thrilling battle for the championship title.
As excitement builds, the event stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Fijian football, where local pride and shared passion will shine brightly during these pivotal matches.
