THE Suva Football Association is gearing up for an exciting year with a range of leagues and competitions scheduled to start soon.

The association has announced the inclusion of a men’s local league, women’s local league, under-14 and 16 girls’ and boys’ development league, as well as a Futsal league.

Suva Football Association president Intiaz Khan expressed his satisfaction with the progress and highlighted that many Suva players are committed to the association under contracts for the next few years.

In a departure from their previous approach, Suva has opted to focus on internal development rather than purchasing players from other districts.

“This shift reflects a commitment to building a strong and cohesive team that feels like a family,” said Khan.

As part of this new direction, Suva is welcoming players who are interested in joining the team without the promise of financial rewards.

“We extend an invitation to all interested players who aspire to be part of the Suva super premier team for the upcoming 2024 season.

Training sessions will be held at the USP Vaturara ground from Monday to Friday at 5pm,” said Khan.

“This presents a fantastic opportunity for aspiring footballers to join our football family and contribute to a successful season.”
