Veteran footballer Malakai Tiwa is set to make his comeback to the Ba football team this season, taking on a dual role as both a player and the Strength and Conditioning Coach. At 38 years old, Tiwa brings a wealth of experience to the team, having been pivotal in helping Tavua restore its Premier Division status earlier this year.
Interim President Dr. Diva Singh expressed enthusiasm about Tiwa’s return, emphasizing his deep connection to the team, which he originally joined as a 16-year-old. Singh stated, “He knows the value of the black jersey, and that’s why we’ve brought him back to inspire the boys.”
Tiwa’s involvement is expected to significantly benefit the team’s dynamics, offering guidance and inspiration to younger players while also being prepared to step onto the field during critical game moments. His extensive experience can play a key role in fostering a strong team spirit and enhancing performance on the pitch.
This move not only strengthens Ba’s roster but also underlines the importance of mentorship in sports, where veteran players can help shape the next generation of athletes. Tiwa’s return can instill a sense of pride and dedication in the team, providing a hopeful outlook for the upcoming season.
