The first league game was played in 1928, even if football had been known since 1916. In 1928, the two teams from Rewa, Rewa FC and Dilkusha Excelsior FC took part in the Indian Reform League. Dilkusha won the Vriddhi Cup and defended it in the following two years. From 1931 to 1936, Rewa FC took part in the Fletcher Challenge Cup. In 1937 the Rewa Football Association was founded. The Rewa Association was a founding member of the Fiji Indian Football Association in 1938, which became the Fiji Football Association in 1961 . Rewa won the first ever Inter-District Championship , the most important competition for football clubs in Fiji. They defended this in 1939. The Rewa Association currently consists of 42 clubs, while Rewa FC has won the Battle of Giants Tournament eight times.
