Nasinu chases Fiji FACT history

Giant killers Nasinu are determined to make history by clinching their first BiC Fiji FACT title next month in Labasa. The tournament holds added significance as it coincides with the Nasinu Football Association's 50th anniversary, providing extra motivation for players, officials, and supporters alike.

Nasinu FA President Jagindar Singh highlighted the players' hard work throughout the season, acknowledging the challenges faced by the smaller association. The district has never secured the prestigious Fiji FACT title. Their closest attempt was in 2002, when they reached the final against Lautoka at Churchill Park, ultimately losing 3-2 in a penalty shootout, a painful memory for many loyal supporters.

The team now awaits the official pool draws next Saturday before the tournament commences on June 19 at Subrail Park in Labasa. Currently, Nasinu holds sixth place in the Extra Premier League standings with 14 points from 10 matches, having recorded four wins, two draws, and four losses. Their performance demonstrates that passion and unity can still compete effectively against larger, wealthier opponents.

The players have worked extremely hard throughout the season despite the challenges they continue to face as a smaller association.
