Josaia Sela: the flourish of a young star from Fiji

Current league leaders Rewa made another victim this weekend when they beat Lautoka by 1-0 at Ratu Cakobau Park in the seventh round of 2020 Vodafone Premier League – the major football league from Fiji.

The winning goal was scored by Josaia Sela, one of the most promising players from Fiji. The 17-year-old forward had a very consistent performance against Lautoka and he scored a deserved goal to give three more points to the Delta Tigers.

Josaia Sela is a name that Fijian football fans must get used to hear. He made his debut for Rewa at senior level in 2018 Inter-District Championship when he was just 15 years old and now he is proving himself as a reliable forward that Rewa’s head coach Marika Rodu can count on.

He was also the captain of Fiji U-16 squad in the 2018 OFC U-16 Championship and he led his side to reach the semi-finals of the tournament by scoring two goals in five matches.

Sela surely has the necessary to become a successful player in Fiji but his talent can take him to a higher level. Rewa’s management and staff have a jewel to be cut.
