Rewa FC, the Fijian soccer team, is preparing for the 2025 OFC Men’s Champions League with high hopes after a commendable run in the previous season. The team faced a heartbreaking semifinal defeat against AS Pirae, losing 4-2, which has only intensified their ambition to succeed in the upcoming tournament.
Coach Rodeck Singh acknowledged the team’s challenges during training, with several key players, including Tevita Waranivalu, Setareki Hughes, Ivan Kumar, Samela Kautoga, Gabriel Matanisiga, and Epeli Valevou, away representing their national teams. Nonetheless, Singh remains hopeful, remarking, “Preparations have been good. We’ve been working with the players that we have available to us currently, and everyone is showing positive signs.”
Rewa FC is set to compete in a tough Group A, lined up against formidable teams such as Auckland City, the reigning champions from New Zealand, AS Tiga Sport from New Caledonia, and possibly AS Tefana or AS Pirae from Tahiti. The matches will take place from March 30 to April 12 in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
Despite the fierce competition, this tournament presents Rewa with a unique chance to showcase their development and tenacity on an international level. Fans are particularly excited about their opening match against AS Tiga Sport, as an encouraging performance could set a positive trajectory for the rest of their campaign.
The aspirations of Rewa FC resonate deeply with their supporters as they aim to leave a significant impact on regional football, illustrating not only their skills but also their perseverance. This journey holds the potential for an inspiring narrative for the Delta Tigers as they aspire to progress from the semifinals to the finals.
