The FMF Inter District Championship 2025 is heading into its decisive stage, with two mouth-watering semifinal clashes scheduled for Saturday at 4R Stadium, Govind Park in Ba. Fans can expect high drama, fierce rivalries, and standout performances as Fiji’s top football teams battle for a place in the grand final.
The day kicks off with the Senior Division semifinals. At 10:00 AM, Lami FC will face Bua FC at Govind Park, while at the same time, Rakiraki FC will clash with Dreketi FC at the Fiji FA Academy Ground in Ba.
Adding a nostalgic flavor to the schedule, the Rewa Legends will take on the Ba Legends at 12:30 PM, rekindling memories of past rivalries between the two giants of Fijian football.
The opening Super Premier semifinal at 2pm brings together Extra Supermarket Labasa FC and hosts RC Manubhai Ba FC in a Northern–Western blockbuster.
Labasa have looked sharp all tournament, blending defensive resilience with attacking creativity. Their swift transitions and ability to grind out results have made them one of the favorites.
But Ba remain a formidable force on home turf. The “Men in Black” held Rewa to a thrilling 2-2 draw in their final group match before 7,027 passionate fans. Local hero Nabil Begg opened the scoring, while Faazil Ali doubled the advantage with a spectacular strike. With the home crowd behind them, Ba will look to unsettle Labasa with their pace on the wings and physical dominance in attack.
The second semifinal promises fireworks as Stratum Construction Rewa FC take on Power Volt Suva FC at 4,30pm
Rewa finished on top of Group B after showing tremendous resilience to come from two goals down and draw with Ba. Goals from Patrick Joseph (penalty) and veteran Tevita Waranivalu highlighted the Delta Tigers’ never-say-die spirit. Midfield dynamo Gabiriele Matanisiga will again be central to their chances of unlocking Suva’s defense.
Suva, meanwhile, brings discipline, structure, and clinical finishing to the contest. With a solid backline and pacey forwards, the Capital City side will aim to frustrate Rewa while striking decisively on the counter.
Both semifinals are rich with history, pride, and passion. With packed stands expected at Govind Park, the FMF IDC 2025 semifinals are set to deliver goals, drama, and unforgettable moments.
The winners will advance to the grand final, where the new IDC champion will be crowned on Sunday at 3:00 PM.
