The Extra Supermarket Rewa football team faces a challenging path as they prepare for the OFC Men’s Champions League 2025. Representing Fiji, Rewa has been placed in Group A, where they will compete against the champion clubs from New Zealand, Tahiti, and New Caledonia. In contrast, Group B features prestigious teams from Vanuatu, the OFC Qualifying tournament, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
The group draw took place at the OFC Home of Football – Te Kahu o Kiwa in Auckland, New Zealand. Additionally, a qualifying tournament will occur in the Cook Islands from February 8-14, featuring three teams: Royal Puma FC from American Samoa, Vaipuna SC from Samoa, and Tupapa Maraerenga FC representing the Cook Islands. The champion of this qualifying tournament will earn a spot in the prestigious OFC Men’s Champions League 2025, set to take place in Honiara, Solomon Islands, from March 30 to April 12.
This tournament presents Rewa with a significant opportunity to showcase their talent against some of the best clubs in the region. Despite the tough competition, this experience will be invaluable for the team and could help raise the profile of Fijian football on the international stage.
In summary, Rewa’s participation in the upcoming Champions League, while challenging, is a moment of pride for Fiji and holds the potential for growth in the sport within the nation.
