Ba Football Coach Rodeck Singh is gearing up for a formidable challenge as the Men in Black prepare to host the FMF Inter District Championship 2025 at Govind Park, marking their return after nine years. The excitement is palpable as high expectations surround the team, which has been placed in Group B. This group includes formidable opponents such as Extra Premier League champions Rewa, last year’s IDC finalists Navua, and the unpredictable Nadroga.
Singh acknowledges the intensity of the competition, expressing, “It’s going to be a tough pool. Every team is at its best right now, and to be the best, we need to beat the best, and that is going to be a challenge for us coming to the pool games.” This upcoming tournament holds personal significance for Singh, as it will be his first time leading the Ba side in this major event.
The team coach emphasizes the unity and preparation of his squad, which boasts a healthy mix of youth and experience. He stated, “This time I’m in the black colors. It’s not about me, it’s about the tournament, it’s about the park, and it’s about the fans and the players that will do their job that day. We are going to do our best to make sure that it’s going to be a memorable one for us.”
