Fiji Football Association (Fiji FA) officials will meet tomorrow to decide whether the National Club championship will be played in the weekend.
Chief executive officer Bob Kumar said Fiji FA was closely monitoring the standoff between the government and the Fiji Military Forces.
“We have not postponed the NCC meet as yet, the situation in the country will be reviewed tomorrow and that’s when we hope to make a final decision,” Kumar said.
“Club officials have been enquiring with us on a daily basis and we’ve advised them to continue with their preparations until Fiji FA makes an official announcement to defer the meet.”
“If the situation worsens we’ll be forced to postpone the NCC indefinitely.”
He said pool draws would be held later in the week.
Meanwhile Nadi club Gandhi FC will play in the NCC finals for the first time ever after Fiji FA ruled a protest in its favour.
Gandhi FC officials presented documentary evidence that proved Flying Arrows of Vatukoula fielded Tevita Namataga without proper clearance from the Lautoka club Golf Link United.
Rewa clubs United and Raymonds along with Nasinu’s Barbarians have qualified from the southern zone while Gandhi FC joins reigning champions GM United (Lautoka) and Flying Arrows of Ba from western zone.
Matei FC of Taveuni is the lone representative from the north.
The two-day NCC meet is scheduled to be played at the Bidesi and Buckhurst grounds from Saturday.
