Gagame Feni’s homecoming debut: Suva falls short against Labasa

In the latest match of the Digicel Fiji Premier League, Solomon Islands’ striker Gagame Feni made his much-anticipated debut for Suva after rejoining the club. Wearing the number 10 jersey, Feni came off the bench in the second half but could not prevent his team’s 1-0 defeat to Labasa.

Feni’s compatriot, Jaygray Sipakana, also featured prominently in the match. Sipakana, who made his debut for Suva as a starter in this match, had previously come off the bench in Suva’s 1-1 draw against Rewa. Both players are significant signings for Suva as they aim to turn around their challenging season.

Suva, which finished as runners-up in the 2023 OFC Champions League, has struggled to find form this season. The club hopes that the addition of Feni and Sipakana, known for their attacking prowess, will bolster their performance in the league and upcoming tournaments such as the Battle of Giants.

Feni, who previously played for Suva and became a fan favorite, is expected to bring experience and quality to the team. His return is seen as a potential turning point for the club as they look to climb back to the top of Fijian football.
