Despite not being in the top eight of the Digicel Fiji Premier League, Suva FC will still be competing in the upcoming Battle of the Giants tournament.
Fiji Football Association Chief Executive Mohammed Yusuf clarified this stating that an agreement was made two years ago where the host will participate despite its standings in the DFPL.
Suva is ninth in the DFPL standings and eighth place Nasinu automatically ruled out.
“So that’s why Suva will be part of the BOG and Nasinu misses out.That was the rule that was passed two years ago, and as it is, it stands.”
The eight teams set to compete in the tournament are Rewa, Labasa, Lautoka, Nadi, Ba, Navua, Nadroga and host Suva.
The tournament will start next week Friday and will be held a the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
