Ba midfielder Mohammad Raheem has left for New Zealand after obtaining a one-year work permit, which means he will miss the upcoming matches in the Digicel Fiji Premier League. Ba FA President Azam Ali confirmed that Raheem departed today.
Raheem, who earned the 2023 IDC Golden Boot Award, has been a crucial player for Ba football. Regarding Raheem’s potential participation in this year’s IDC, President Ali stated that no decisions have been made yet, saying, “We will make a decision closer to the time.” He noted that the team’s strategy for Raheem’s involvement in future tournaments will be influenced by developments as they arise.
