The Nadi Soccer Association has not accepted the Fiji Football Association's decision in awarding a protest to Navua.

Nadi had qualified for the semifinals of the Courts IDC but Navua won a protest which saw Nadi losing their semifinal spot.

Nadi soccer President, Jitendra Kumar said they have taken the matter to Arbitration and also have written to the Oceania Football Confederation.

Kumar said Fiji FA was wrong in awarding the protest to Navua and they have evidence that the US club for which Nadroga player Koshmick Kumar was playing for is not an affiliated member of FIFA.

However, Fiji FA Chief Executive, Bob Kumar said they have not received anything in writing from Nadi and the semifinals will go ahead as scheduled.

Meanwhile, in the first semifinal of the Courts IDC this Sunday, Lautoka will take on Navua at 9am and Rewa play's Labasa at 10.30am.

The commentaries of all the matches can be heard on our sister station, Radio Sargam.
