Ba will be hosting the 2025 FMF Inter-District Championship as the floodlights will be installed at the 4R Stadium for night games.

This comes as the tournament was earlier moved to Lautoka’s Churchill Park as Govind Park had no floodlights.

Fiji Football Association CEO Mohammed Yusuf says at the expression of interest of the Minister for Local Government and Housing, Maciu Nalumisa, the Permanent Secretary, and the Ba Chamber of Commerce, FMF IDC is coming back to Ba after 15 years for the people of Ba.

He says the floodlights will be installed at the 4R Stadium for night games, all matters have been resolved, and an agreement has been signed.

Fiji FA President, Rajesh Patel says Ba has a proud footballing history, and the FMF IDC’s return will be a special moment for players, fans, and the community as a whole.

He has thanked the Ba Town Council and the Ministry of Local Government for their commitment to making this possible.

Patel is also urging fans who have already booked accommodation in Ba to keep their plans intact.

Ba Town Council Special Administrator, Moshin Khan says the people of Ba are football crazy and will be thrilled to watch top-class football action once again at Govind Park and the upgraded 4R Stadium.

The Fiji FA and Ba Town Council have committed to ensuring that all necessary facilities will be ready ahead of the tournament.

The tournament will be held from the 7th to the 12th of October.
