The Powervolt Suva football team finds itself in a challenging 2025 FMF Inter-District Championship pool, drawing recognition from its head coach Babs Khan, also known as Maxwell Thaggard. He acknowledges the formidable competition they will face, particularly from defending champions Labasa and noted teams such as Ba and Lautoka.
Khan, who returned to Suva after coaching Navua during the recent Extra Battle of the Giants tournament in Labasa, is optimistic about the team’s progress. The squad’s successful qualification for the IDC came through their performance in three national league games, reflecting their commitment to improvement. As they prepare for the tournament, which will take place in the soccer-centric town of Ba, Khan emphasizes a focus on taking each match as it comes.
The team’s first pool fixture is set against the hosts, Ba, kicking off next Tuesday at 6 PM at the 4R Stadium, also known as Govind Park. This tournament not only brings a competitive challenge but also an opportunity for Suva to showcase its resilience and adaptability in the face of tough opponents.
This year’s IDC holds special significance, as the Suva community looks forward to witnessing the team’s journey in the championship. Fans have good reason to remain hopeful, as Suva’s recent preparations suggest a team ready to tackle each challenge head-on, with aspirations not only to compete but to excel in a fiercely competitive environment. The players’ dedication, coupled with Khan’s strategic approach, promises an exciting and spirited display of football in the upcoming matches.
