Nadroga FA is a professional Fijian association football team playing in the Fiji Premier League of the Fiji Football Association. It is based in Sigatoka. They are nicknamed The Stallions. Their home stadium is Lawaqa Park.

History

Nadroga F.C. came into existence in 1938, with the formation of the Nadroga Soccer Association, under the Presidency of Dildar Masih. Nadroga took part in the Inter-District Championship (IDC) for the first time in 1939, losing to the neighbouring team of Nadi by 2 goals to nil in the preliminary round.

2024 season

In late September 2024, Nadroga avoided relegation and secured its place in the next season’s Fiji Premier League when they defeated Tailevu Naitasiri 4-1 in their round 17 clash at Lawaqa Park. With only a round left to play, the win meant that Nadroga had 17 points, five points ahead of the bottom two teams, Tailevu Naitasiri and Nasinu.[1]
