The 2024 Bic Southern Business House Futsal Soccer Cup is moving into its elimination round, scheduled to take place on Monday at the FMF Gymnasium in Suva.
Tournament director Alan Kumar highlighted that this year’s men’s category is particularly competitive, with many teams featuring district representatives.
“The pool games were intense, and all teams came prepared, showing great competitiveness,” Kumar stated.
For the elimination round on Monday, the Ministry of Education, Pacific Customs Agencies Ltd, and DHL are among the favorites to advance to the quarter-finals.
“The winners from the elimination matches will qualify for the cup, while the losers will move to the plate category,” Kumar added.
In the women’s competition, the team with the most points after the Round Robin games will be declared the winner. Kumar noted that the USP team, consisting of university students and competing for the first time, is one to watch.
The competition is supported by sponsors BIC and Blue Gas, allowing around 1000 players and officials to participate and promote the fight against non-communicable diseases.
The tournament’s theme is “say no to drugs and domestic violence,” and the organizers are proud to advocate for this cause.
