“We all knew from day one when IDC was decided to be played at Govind Park that it’s going to be a big responsibility. We will need to take this responsibility, absorb the pressure that is ahead of us and make sure we do well.”

Ba will open their campaign next week with the backing of their home crowd, who will be central to their push for success in the highly anticipated football tournament.

Ba will meet Navua in their first match which will be the final game of day one next Tuesday.
