Lautoka’s hopes for success in the upcoming 2024 FMF Inter District Championship (IDC) have received a significant boost with the addition of veteran goalkeeper Beniamino Mateinaqara. Currently based in Auckland, New Zealand, Mateinaqara has been granted leave by his employer, Rams Group of Companies, to help strengthen Lautoka’s goalkeeping lineup, which has faced challenges recently.
The seasoned player, who has previously earned IDC titles, brings a wealth of experience having represented not only Lautoka but also other prominent teams such as Ba, Navua, Nadi, and Suva throughout his career. Flick Hygiene Lautoka is set to compete in Group A alongside Suva, Navua, and Labasa, with their opening match scheduled against Navua at 6 PM next Tuesday.
