The Delta Tigers, Rewa FC, are gearing up for the much-anticipated 2025 BiC Fiji FACT tournament, shifting their focus to the competition after a successful run in the Extra Premier League. Head coach Rodicks Singh confirmed that the team started preparations on Monday with the aim of making a strong statement in the tournament. He noted that while there aren’t drastic tactical changes, they are looking to implement subtle enhancements that fans will notice.
Despite a crowded football calendar, Rewa is actively seeking friendly matches to fine-tune their strategy leading up to the tournament, though arranging these games has proven challenging. Singh highlighted that the training camp’s feasibility will largely depend on the progression of their preparations and the injury status of the squad, particularly concerning centre back Gabriel Matanisiga, who is currently dealing with a minor injury.
Singh emphasized the importance of managing player workload as they navigate what has been a demanding schedule, ensuring they remain fresh and ready for the tournament. “We’ve been very conscious not to overwork anyone,” he remarked. The team’s recent momentum, having won seven of their last eight EPL matches, instills confidence as they head into the Fiji FACT.
“Our goal is simple; we want to win the Fiji FACT,” Singh stated, acknowledging the title’s elusiveness in recent years but expressing belief in their capability to succeed this time around. With strong community support and rising talent within the team, there’s a hopeful sentiment surrounding Rewa’s ambitions for the tournament.
The Fiji FACT will commence on May 30, featuring various matchups including Rewa against traditional rival Ba. The excitement in the community is palpable, as fans look forward to what promises to be a showcase of local football talent and a chance for Rewa to reclaim a title they seek fervently.
As the tournament approaches, supporters are keenly anticipating the action, with engagement from local teams fostering a sense of community pride and enthusiasm in Fijian football.
