Transfers
The first transfer window of 2020 Fijian Football season opened on January 1 and finished on January 31.[2]
Current league champions Ba FC brought some important players like former Lautoka FC players Samuela Drudru, Beniamino Mateinaqara[3] and Benjamin Totori. They have also signed with former Suva FC defender Laisenia Raura.[4] Ni-Vanuatu forward Micah Tommy and Solomon Islands winger Darold Kakasi remained in the squad for 2020 season.[5][6] They will also count on former New Zealand national football team head coach Ricki Herbert that signed a short-term contract with Ba FC until the end of 2020 OFC Champions League.[7]
Lautoka FC added some important players like former Ba FC winger Shazil Ali, goalkeeper Joela Biuvania and Fiji U23 international Arami Manumanubai[8] and Ni-Vanuatu forward Alex Saniel.[9] They also hired Vanuatu international Jason Thomas[10] but he is not going to play the Vodafone Premier League.
Suva FC also added some international power to their squad by bringing two Nigerian players: the defender Michael Oyesanya and the striker Jibola Afonja[11] that played the 2019 season for Samoan side Kiwi. However they lost Solomon Islands international Gagame Feni who moved to Vanuatu to play for Galaxy.
Current Battle of the Giants, Inter-District Championship and Champion vs Champion winners Labasa FC managed to hold some key players like Siotame Kubu and Antonio Tuivuna that attracted the interest of Suva FC and Ba FC respectively.[12][13] They also brought Ratu Apenisa who scored two goals in the 2020 Champion vs Champion against Ba.[14] Solomon Islands international Dennis Ifunaoa left the team to come back to his homeland to play for Solomon Warriors.[15]
Nadi FC will count on midfielder Avinesh Suwamy that left Ba after playing for the Men in Black for more than ten years.[16]
Nasinu FC lost young goalkeeper Mohammed Alzaar Alam who moved to New Zealand to play for Manukau United FC.[17] However they added some good firepower by signing with three players from Solomon Islands: Atkin Kaua, Jared Rongosulia and Marlon Nonone.[18]
Recently promoted Navua FC added some firepower by signing with 2019 Vodafone Senior League top scorer Taniela Rakariva.[19]
