Excitement is mounting as the pools for the 2025 Pacific Community Cup have been announced, fostering anticipation for the much-anticipated tournament in New Zealand. Notably, the current champions, Rewa, will be pitted against fellow IDC competitors Ba, creating a thrilling atmosphere as they both aim for glory in the competition.
Rewa, who have emerged victorious in both the national league and the IDC, will anchor Group A alongside Ba, along with strong teams including AUFFI All Stars, NZFFI All Stars, and NZFFI Northshore All Stars. The inclusion of these formidable opponents promises an exhilarating series of matches.
Meanwhile, Group B features an equally competitive lineup, with reigning Battle of the Giants champions Labasa, along with Lautoka, AUFFI Australia All Stars, Auckland All Stars, and USA All Stars, all vying for supremacy.
Reflecting on previous tournaments, the last edition of the Pacific Cup, which took place at Churchill Park in Lautoka, saw Rewa, Labasa, and Navua experience early exits during the group stages. Lautoka made a commendable run to the semi-finals but was halted by the eventual champions, Auckland All Stars. This year’s tournament is scheduled to unfold from November 26-30 in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Pacific Community Cup represents a significant opportunity for these teams to showcase their skills on a larger stage, building excitement not just among the players but also among fans who support their local clubs passionately. As the tournament approaches, anticipation grows for what promises to be an electrifying display of football and community spirit in the Pacific region.
