Suva midfielder Malakai Rakula will return to the field for his former team, Suva FC, as they gear up for the FMF Inter District Championship (IDC) scheduled for tomorrow. The 30-year-old, who began his career with Suva, has previously made significant contributions to both Ba FC and Nadi FC, where he participated in the OFC Champions League.
Rakula’s football journey includes a notable call-up to the Fiji national team in 2019 and a stint abroad with Manukau United FC in New Zealand during 2020. His last appearance for Suva was in the 2022-2023 season, and his re-signing is expected to infuse vital leadership and strategic depth into the squad. Suva is poised to compete in a challenging Group A against defending champions Labasa, Lautoka, and Nadi, making Rakula’s experience particularly valuable as they look to advance in the tournament.
The IDC kicks off tomorrow at 1:30 PM in Ba, and fans can stay updated with live commentary of all Super Premier Division matches available on Radio Fiji Two.
This tournament marks an exciting time for Suva FC as they aim to reclaim their status and capitalize on Rakula’s experience, motivating the team to perform at their best against tough competition.
