The Ba soccer team is one of the favourites in Group A of the Fiji Airways OFC Champions League but coach Shalen Lal is keeping his feet firmly on the ground ahead of their opening match tonight.

Beaten semi‑finalists in 2014, the Men In Black are looking to go one better this season and qualify for their first Champions League final since 2007.

Ba will bring with them a wealth of experience in the backbone of their side.

Avinesh Suwamy, Ronil Kumar, Jone Vesikula and Malakai Tiwa all boast over 20 appearances in the OFC Champions League.

Ba’s first game against Gaitcha kicks off at 7 tonight at Govind Park while Suva will face defending champions, Auckland City at 4.30pm at the ANZ stadium.

You can catch the live commentaries of both matches on our sister station, Radio Sargam.
