THE Dayal’s Sawmillers National Club Championship (NCC) 2025, had their pool draws confirmed yesterday at the Fiji FA Academy in Vatuwaqa, setting the stage for what is expected to be an exciting and competitive tournament.
Defending champions Northpole FC from Labasa will lead Group B, joined by Western champions Ray United FC of Lautoka and Rewa’s Combine Verata FC.
Group A will feature Ba’s 4R FC, Nasinu’s Friends United FC, and Suva’s Pacific Specialist Healthcare/Nadera Buses Combine Brothers FC.
Mohammed Yusuf, CEO of Fiji Football Federation, expressed his anticipation for the thrilling matches ahead.
However, some teams may face challenges as a few of their players who have signed with Bula FC will be unavailable for the upcoming matches, as they are preparing for the pre-season.
“We can expect some very exciting matches, in the past few days, with teams aiming for the title on Sunday,” said Yusuf.
“Some of the teams will be slightly affected, as few players from their team who has signed and joined the Bula FC, will not be participating this week, the players will be preparing for pre-season.”
Yusuf extended his gratitude to Dayal Sawmillers for their support in advancing the club league, with plans for a three-year partnership to ensure the continuity of local league matches and the growth of football in the country, particularly at the grassroots level.
The NCC final play-offs are scheduled to take place from tomorrow at the Fiji FA Academy Ground in Vatuwaqa.
The top two teams from each pool will feature in the final at the same venue on Sunday.
