Lautoka’s prospects in the 2024 FMF Inter District Championship (IDC) have received a significant boost with the addition of experienced goalkeeper Beniamino Mateinaqara. Currently based in Auckland, New Zealand, Mateinaqara has been released by his employer, Rams Group of Companies, to enhance the team’s goalkeeping capabilities, which have faced challenges recently.
A former national goalkeeper, Mateinaqara has a successful track record in the IDC and has previously represented various teams, including his hometown Lautoka, as well as Ba, Navua, Nadi, and Suva. Flick Hygiene Lautoka has been placed in Group A alongside Suva, Navua, and Labasa, and will kick off their campaign against Navua next Tuesday at 6pm.
