The Rewa football club, nicknamed the Delta Tigers, is preparing to compete for another Fiji FACT title in the 2026 tournament. The team boasts a significant legacy in the competition, having secured three titles and finished as runners-up on four occasions, establishing themselves as a modern powerhouse.
Rewa's Fiji FACT journey includes victories in 2011, 2017, and 2018. Their finals appearances have often featured a notable rivalry with Labasa. The two teams have met in four Fiji FACT finals, with each side winning twice. Last year's final also saw Labasa defeat Rewa on penalties, adding another chapter to their competitive history.
Notably, Rewa has never faced Ba, Suva, Nadroga, or Nasinu in a Fiji FACT final, despite these districts having strong football traditions. As the 2026 tournament approaches, Rewa is determined to add another title to their district's football legacy.
The 2026 Fiji FACT is scheduled to commence on June 19 at Subrail Park in Labasa. Rewa has been drawn into a competitive pool alongside defending champions Labasa, Suva, and Navua. Pool matches will run through June 21, with the semi-finals and final concluding the tournament the following weekend.
