Avinesh Suwamy to lead Nadi back to contention

After 15 years playing for Ba, Fijian football star Avinesh Suwamy moved to Nadi at the beginning of the 2020 season. The now 34-year-old midfielder showed what he is capable of even before the national league’s forced break due to the COVID-19 pandemic; Suwamy scored four goals against Nasinu and helped his side to an important victory.

Of the Nadi’s four games, the Jetsetters have won twice and lost also twice – they currently sit in 4th place in the Vodafone Premier League. Suwamy is the current top scorer in Fiji’s premier league alongside with Lautoka’s Shazil Ali, who scored four goals each.

The last time Nadi won the Vodafone Premier League was in 2015; with the experience and quality of Avinesh Suwamy, Nadi now expects to fight for national glory once again. If the Jetsetters are looking to lift the trophy again, they will be hoping Suwamy and players like Rusiate Matarerega and Ame Votoniu can lead them back to the top of the table.

Nadi enjoyed the best moment of their football history back in the 1980’s when they won five national leagues in six seasons. Since then, Nadi won just three times the Fijian top-tier division. The last major title of the Jetsetters was in 2017 when they won Fiji FACT.
