Ba won the Fiji Fact tile nine times which is the most compared to other teams. 

They won the inaugural tournament in 1991, in 1997 they shared the trophy with Labasa and in 1998 they defeated Nadi. 

From 2004 to 2007 the Men-in-black won the title back to back with their last win in 2010.

Ba was defeated by Suva 1-0 in the final last year.

Meanwhile, Nadi soccer coach Kamal Swamy said the team still needs to improve in some areas.

Nadi has won the Fiji Fact tile only once in 1996 when they walloped Lautoka 4-0 at Prince Charles Park. 

In 1998 and 2005 Nadi played in the Fiji Fact final but were defeated by Ba on both occasions.

The final will kickoff at 3pm and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station Radio Sargam.

Meanwhile, losing semi finalists Rewa and Suva will play for the 3rd and 4th place playoffs this hour.

In the Premier Division Nasinu defeated Tailevu/Naitasiri by 2-1 while Rakiraki defeated Lami 4-1.
