THE Fiji Football Association’s disciplinary committee will meet at 6pm tomorrow to decide the fate of three national players tomorrow.

The three – Rewa’s Setareki Hughes and Amani Makoe, and Ba’s Samuela Nabenia – failed to turn up for camp and training, in preparation for the planned tour of Malaysia.

Fiji FA chief executive officer Mohammed Yusuf has confirmed that tomorrow’s decision would determine whether the trio would feature in this weekend’s Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants tournament.

The tournament kicks off at Churchill Park in Lautoka on Friday, July 20, with Rewa playing Suva in the opening match at 1.30pm.

In other matches on day one, Nadi battles Dreketi at 3.30pm, Lautoka takes on Tavua at 6pm, while the Ba-Labasa clash will be held at 8pm.

Rewa is the defending champion of the BOG.
