The Navua Soccer Team will have one of the deadliest strikers in the Oceania region for the FMF/Blue Gas Battle of the Giants soccer tournament.

New Zealand's Waitakere United team striker Commins Menapi has been released and will arrive in the country tonight to bolster Navua's chances of winning the second major tournament of the year.

Menapi, is one of the top strikers in the Oceania region and he also won the Golden Boot Award in last season's O-League competition after scoring close to eight goals.

Navua Soccer President Anil Sharma said Menapi will play a key role in his side after Auckland City based Salesh Kumar failed to get his release.

Navua will play Tavua in their opening match at the BOG this Sunday at 3pm at Thompson Park.
