The morale is high for HLB Mann Judd Suva as they gear up to defend their title in the Extra Supermarket Futsal Inter-District Championship, which kicks off today at the Vodafone Arena in Laucala Bay. The Capital City team has received a significant boost with HLB Mann stepping in as the official title sponsor, allowing the squad to adopt the name HLB Mann Judd Suva Futsal.
Coach Vivek Nadan is optimistic about their preparations, noting that most of the players who participated in last weekend’s IDC have returned to camp and are fit. “We’ve got most of our boys back from the football IDC; we’ve had a few sessions with them, and they’ve been pretty good. All have recovered from their niggling injuries, so we are 100 percent ready to defend the title,” he stated.
HLB Mann Judd Suva has dominated the Futsal IDC over the past six years, making it to the finals in each of those competitions, losing only once in 2022. The unity of the team and the unwavering support from their sponsors have been vital to their success, according to Coach Nadan.
In their opening match today at 4 PM, HLB Mann Judd Suva will face local rivals Nasinu. Following their clear commitment and preparation, fans are encouraged to anticipate an exciting performance as the champions aim for yet another title.
The continuing partnership with HLB Mann Judd reflects not only the importance of sponsorship in sports but also a collective community spirit that fuels local teams’ ambitions to succeed. As the tournament unfolds, there’s a hopeful outlook for both Suva and its supporters, who are eager to see if the team can maintain its championship legacy.
