Suva FC fans can expect to see some new faces this weekend as the team prepares to face long-time rival Ba at the HFC Bank Stadium in their opening match of the National Premier League.
Suva FC president Nitin Singh confirms the club has signed four players ahead of the new season.

He confirms can look forward to seeing some of these new signings in action as Suva FC kicks off their campaign against Ba this weekend.
Among the five players signed with Suva, two players are members of the Fiji Under-20 Football side.
“We you know all of these players are experienced players. We thought of signing some young players, just to build on for future, that’s the reason we signed a few Fiji U20 players. Coach felt that these players will fit in well with the system of Suva usually follows.”
The new players include former Fiji under 20 rep Gary Kubu, Molis Gagame from the Solomon Islands, Amani Makoe from Nasinu and Jonetani Newa from Tavua.
Singh says the addition of under-20 players in the side is for development of the Suva FC side over the next few years.
