THE Fijian Soccer League should seek helpful tips from the Muslim Football League on how to run a successful organization.
Former footballer, Victor (Vic) Nand made his feelings known after watching last weekend’s matches at the Newton Athletic Park in Surrey.
“For Fijian League to become a successful league they need to look at the Muslim League, get helpful tips on how to run a good organization”, he said.
Nand said having 25 teams in 4 divisions is reflective of the marked organization they have become in the last few years.
Muslim League has 6 teams in each of the Premier 1 and Premier 2, divisions, 6-U18s and 7 Masters teams who play weekday and weekend competitions.
The 80s, Lautoka rep, said what else makes the Premiere and Division 1 exciting is the automatic promotion and relegation format.
“The bottom two teams from Premier 1 gets demoted to Premier 2, and top two Premier 2 teams get promoted, a great concept to stir up good competition”.
Nand added that the Muslim League organization is Fijian League’s best clinic, as the latter has turned into a slog in the last 5 years.
“The Muslim League administration is doing everything right”.
“They have teams, standard and support, they’ve everything to show for, the same can’t be said about the Fijian League”.
