BA FC president Praneel Dayal says the club’s success this season is the result of sacrifice, tough decisions and the unwavering support of its players, sponsors and loyal fans.
Dayal made the comments while addressing a large crowd gathered at Gujrati Grounds yesterday as the town celebrated Ba FC’s remarkable achievement of winning four major titles this season.
The Men in Black completed a memorable clean sweep, winning the Fiji FACT, Battle of the Giants, Extra Premier League and FMF Inter-District Championship.
The celebrations began with a colourful float procession through Ba Town, bringing together supporters and well-wishers to honour the team’s outstanding season.
Players and members of the team were also recognised during the celebration, receiving hampers from their respective sponsors in appreciation of their contribution to the club’s success.
Dayal credited the players for their commitment on the field and acknowledged the contribution of sponsors, business partners and Ba supporters living overseas, particularly those in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.
Dayal also highlighted the club’s renewed focus on putting players first, ensuring their welfare, respect and well-being were prioritised both on and off the field.
He said the four victories belonged to the entire Ba community and not just the club’s leadership.
“Leaders, they come and go, but the black jersey stays forever.
“We survived the hard breaks, we made the hard choices and today we celebrate together,” Dayal said.
The celebration brought together the Ba Town Council, sponsors, distinguished guests, former players, families and supporters in a proud moment for the town, which continues to uphold its reputation as the home of champions.
