History will be created at the Vodafone National Regional Club Football Championship which starts today at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka.

Over the years, 60 minutes football has been part of the competition but not this time around.

Fiji Football Association chief executive Mohammed Yusuf says they used to have two top teams from each association for the championship, but that is not the case this year.
