History
[edit | edit source]Nadroga F.C. came into existence in 1938, with the formation of the Nadroga Soccer Association, under the Presidency of Dildar Masih. Nadroga took part in the Inter-District Championship (IDC) for the first time in 1939, losing to the neighbouring team of Nadi by 2 goals to nil in the preliminary round.
2024 season
[edit | edit source]In late September 2024, Nadroga avoided relegation and secured its place in the next season’s Fiji Premier League when they defeated Tailevu Naitasiri 4-1 in their round 17 clash at Lawaqa Park. With only a round left to play, the win meant that Nadroga had 17 points, five points ahead of the bottom two teams, Tailevu Naitasiri and Nasinu.[1]
