Welcome to the 2025 FMF Inter-District Championship
It is my great pleasure to warmly welcome you all to the 2025 FMF Inter District Championship (IDC) — Fiji’s most iconic football tournament. Over the years, this event has become more than just a competition. It is a true carnival of sport, a gathering of friends, a celebration of community, and a showcase of the passion that unites us all through football.
This vibrant atmosphere would not be possible without the steadfast support of our sponsors. We extend our deepest gratitude to Flour Mills of Fiji (FMF), whose commitment and partnership enable us to stage this premier event. Their contribution goes beyond sponsorship; it represents a vital investment in the growth and promotion of football in Fiji.
This year’s FMF IDC carries special significance as it marks the tournament’s much-anticipated return to 4R Stadium at Govind Park in Ba after nine years. From Tuesday, October 7 to Sunday, October 12, 2025, Govind Park will come alive with colour, energy, and excitement as fans and players come together for Fiji’s football spectacle of the year.
Adding to the celebrations, Ba Football will proudly host a grand carnival to commemorate its 90th anniversary. This milestone is not only a reflection of Ba’s proud legacy and achievements but also an opportunity for fans and families to enjoy cultural programs, entertainment, and community festivities, all while honouring Ba’s contribution to Fijian football.
Fans can look forward to an unforgettable week of festival-like celebrations. Thrilling pool matches will set the stage for the semi-finals, leading to the much-anticipated grand final on Sunday at Govind Park.
Given the competitiveness of the Extra Premier League, BIC Fiji FACT, and the Extra Battle of the Giants, this year’s FMF IDC promises fierce battles, unforgettable goals, and moments that will live long in the memories of players and supporters alike.
We are especially delighted that so many Ba fans living overseas have purchased tickets online to be part of this historic occasion. Their presence will not only add to the electric atmosphere at Govind Park but also deliver a significant economic boost to Ba Town — benefiting businesses, hotels, and local vendors. This is a true testament to the unifying power of football.
As we gather for this grand celebration of the game, I encourage all district officials, players, and fans to embrace the true spirit of football. Let us rise above negativity, respect one another, and celebrate the joy, teamwork, and sportsmanship that make this tournament so special.
Football teaches us lessons of discipline, respect, and unity. This is our chance to learn from one another, admire the skills on display, and honour the values of the sport we love.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, please take note of these important guidelines:
Mandatory Drug Testing: All players will undergo drug testing during the tournament.
No Unauthorized Live Streaming: Broadcasting matches without authorization is strictly prohibited.

Let us celebrate the game that unites us all, and may the best team emerge victorious at the 2025 FMF Inter District Championship.
Vinaka vakalevu, and enjoy the FMF IDC!
