The top eight teams on the Digicel Fiji Premier League points table ladder at the end of round seven will qualify for the Digicel Fiji FACT in June.
Fiji FA chief executive officer Mohammed Yusuf says they have advised the districts that on 30th April we will finish off round seven and that will be the cut-off point for Digicel Fiji FACT.
“Only the top eight teams from the DPL standings will move to the Digicel Fiji FACT and the teams will now have to work hard to ensure they are in the top eight,” said Yusuf
Yusuf says the Digicel Fiji Premier League this weekend will be exciting.
“From this weekend in round five of the competition, it’s going to be important for some districts to avoid being out of the first major tournament in Fiji FA calendar,”
