Fiji soccer team coach Saiyad Ali believes defending champions Ba, can retain their title at the Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants soccer tournament.

Ali who took over from Carlos Buzetti, said counting The Men In Black out, will be a big mistake for other team's. He said Ba has been quite since losing in the Fiji Fact and the three games in the National League competition this season but don't be surprised if they start the tournament on a high note.

He said host Lautoka and Navua are also teams to watch while Suva and Labasa could go in as underdogs.

Ali said this year's B.O.G will be very interesting and he will also be scouting players for the National Under 20 and the National Team.

The opening round of games at the B.O.G starts tomorrow.
