Rewa Football Association president Nazeel Buksh praised the Delta Tigers for their remarkable achievements, as the team claimed both the FMF Inter-District Championship (IDC) and the Extra Super Premier League titles. During a victory celebration at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori, he expressed that this historic double triumph reflects the discipline, faith, and unity that have been the cornerstone of the Rewa district for generations.
Buksh emphasized that the team’s success is a result of years of dedication and hard work rather than mere luck. He recounted the memorable moment when the Delta Tigers secured the IDC trophy in front of a record crowd at 4R Stadium, highlighting the unwavering spirit and teamwork that define the team. “This victory was not an accident; it was the outcome of hard choices and faith in each other,” he stated.
He acknowledged the crucial support from sponsors like Stratum Construction, Pro Play, and Extra Supermarket, expressing gratitude that enabled the players to perform at their best. Furthermore, he recognized Saraswati School for its role in providing training facilities and instilling discipline in the squad.
Looking toward the future, Buksh announced a strategic focus on infrastructure and youth development, with plans to establish a new clubhouse, a home ground, and a dedicated academy to nurture aspiring footballers and future leaders. He confirmed the district’s ambition to join the OFC Pro League within four years, a target he believes is realistic due to the unity and planning driving the team’s current momentum.
The president also took a moment to commend the players, officials, and volunteers whose hard work has contributed to their success, along with expressing appreciation for the passionate Rewa supporters, known as the “Red Wall,” for their unwavering belief in the team. He concluded by reaffirming the district’s enduring values of faith, family, hard work, and unity, promising that the spirit of Tabusoro will continue to guide Rewa’s progress.
This moment marks not just an end to a successful season but serves as a beacon of hope for the future as the community unites to support their local talent and celebrate their achievements. With the right infrastructure and development in place, Rewa Football Club is poised for continued growth and success on both the local and international stages.
