Nakul Reddy, a six-time Inter District Championship (IDC) winner with Ba, has passed away. Fondly known as “Gege,” Reddy died peacefully on Wednesday, July 10, in Fresno, California, at the age of 66.
The president of Fiji FA, Rajesh Patel, along with board members and the entire football community, expressed deep sorrow at Reddy’s passing. Patel praised Reddy’s significant contributions to Fijian football, describing him as a great footballer and an inspirational leader of his time.
