After the successful inauguration of the Digicel Women’s Super League last weekend the second tier competition, the Digicel Women’s Senior League is set to roll this weekend.
Four matches will be played this Saturday which will see at Fiji FA Academy Ground in Vatuwaqa at 10am Navua will play Lami while at 12pm Northland Tailevu will take on Nasinu.
At Wairuku Primary School grounds in Rakiraki at 2pm, Rakiraki and Nadi will play while at the same time Lautoka will host Tavua at Central College in Lautoka.
Fiji FA competitions managers Amitesh Pal said the popularity of women’s football has been on the rise in recent years.
“We had 16 clubs participating in the Fiji FA Women’s Senior League last year and the few years before,” he said.
“Due to the demand for women’s football in Fiji the number of clubs around the country is now increasing, as a result of an increasing number of players, so we thought instead of having an 18 team competition just like our men’s Premier League we have a two-tier competition of women’s now in Fiji.”
Pal said the tier two competition is expected to be interesting as well.
“The twelve teams in the tier two competition will be fighting a spot in the Digicel Women’s Super League next year and the top team will feature in the promotion/ relegation series.
