The EXTRA Supermarket Police soccer team is gearing up to defend their championship title against Army at the Vodafone Ratu Sukuna Bowl 2024. The match is set to start at 11 a.m. today at HFC Bank Stadium.
Iliesa Lino, the team’s centre back, expressed their strong resolve to reclaim the trophy, stating, “It belongs to us, and we’re ready to win.” He also underscored the team’s commitment to serving as role models in the community, particularly for the youth, by encouraging them to avoid negative influences such as drugs. Lino emphasized that true champions excel not only in sports but also in their character.
Last year, the Police team faced Army in a tense match that ended in a 1-all draw, while in 2022, the Police secured the title with a solid 3-1 victory.
In addition to the soccer match, fans can also look forward to an exciting rugby clash between Police and Army, which will take place at the same venue at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
This event serves not only as a sporting contest but also as an opportunity for community engagement and positive messages, particularly for the youth, promoting healthful living and teamwork. With a history of close matches and intense rivalry, the tournament promises to be an exciting showcase of talent, sportsmanship, and inspiration for all involved.
In summary, the Police team is poised for a rematch against the Army, with aspirations not just to win but also to uplift their community, signaling a brighter path for future generations through sport.
