The Suva Courier
Match19 Aug 2026
Suva out of the cup
Ba ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Market24 Aug 2026
Jason Dau has said yes to Navua
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Suva have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Penisoni Tirau is a medical away from Suva
The deal with Ba is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Words exchanged at Suva
Akuila Mateisuva and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Akuila Mateisuva
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Akuila Mateisuva, and the manager let it.

A row about effort at Suva
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Remueru Tekiate was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Tevita Begg to a room that had heard them before.

Simione Cama signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Simione Cama and Suva agree another 3 years.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Simione Nabenu left out for tactical reasons at Suva
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
