Nabil Begg, a key player for Ba Football Club, exhibited his skill and leadership in the final pool match of the Extra Futsal Inter-District Championship (IDC) 2025 held yesterday. His remarkable performance helped Ba secure a thrilling 6-4 victory over Nasinu, which clinched their semi-final spot. Begg was rightly honored as the player of the match thanks to a critical goal that fortified Ba’s position in the tournament.
Following the match, Begg expressed his pride in his team’s dedication throughout the competition, acknowledging that their collective effort has been significant in achieving success. However, he noted the necessity for improvement, particularly in the defensive side of their game, highlighting a need for strategic review. “We lack defence in our side, so we will be looking at the videos and see where we went wrong and improve to come back stronger in the semis,” he stated.
As Ba gears up for the semi-finals, Begg acknowledged the formidable challenges they will face, but he remains optimistic regarding their prospects. He emphasized the importance of learning from past mistakes and adapting strategies to triumph over tough opponents. “Top teams have made it through to the semi-finals, so we can expect a tough game and we are looking forward to the challenge,” Begg added.
Similar sentiments were echoed by Ba’s interim coach Timoci Seru, who previously expressed confidence in the team’s preparation process, focusing on refining their strengths and addressing weaknesses. The synergy of Begg’s insight alongside the coach’s plans for improvement creates a hopeful outlook for Ba as they advance deeper into the tournament.
This combination of determination, strategic foresight, and a strong team ethic not only sets a promising stage for Ba in the IDC but also illustrates the growing potential of Fijian football. Enthusiastic supporters will be eagerly anticipating Ba’s next match, as they aim to further their success in this highly competitive championship.
