The Nadi football team will begin its preparation for the new season starting next Monday.

Association President Mohin Rafiq says Nadi will again be coached by Kamal Swamy.

Rafiq says one individual, Rajnal Dayal, from Canada, has shown interest in assisting during tournaments; he is a coach thereby profession.

Negotiations are underway, getting support from very key people in New Zealand and Australia. Former Nadi Rep. Eswa Nadan Director Easy Kool has always shown support and is willing to assist Nadi FA to start the season positively.

According to Rafiq, they have recently appointed Arif Khan, Director of Bayshore Real Estate and Vanua Chocolate, to the Nadi FA Board.

Khan has a wealth of experience in football and is looking at a vision to take Nadi to the next level together with the current executives.

There will be some discussions on player recruits locally once our very die-hard Nadi Prominent personnel now in New Zealand give us the green light soon.

Two players from Solomons have been identified by our reliable sources, and ITC was applied yesterday.
