Solid season so far

2034 Pre-Season

Just the one friendly and it was a great win.

Favourites to win again.

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2034

A strong away match to start the season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

June 2034

And back to being poor, our goalkeepers have scored 3 of our 5 goals so far.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2034

Make that 4 of our 6.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2034

We really should have gotten something against Tabuaeran...

2035 Pre-Season

God knows how this season will go.

Favourites again.

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2035

A mixed start, we did have a player sent off in the first half as well as 2 players go off injured away to Betio Town Council.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2035

A strong month and we just hold onto 2nd.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2035

Betio Town Council do the double over us after having a man sent off in the 36th, 68th and 90th minute, which didn't help.

[Makoto Nakamura]

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2035

It's an improvement on last season but still not enough to make the playoffs. I've not used my beta tactic at all this season, instead I've used a cautious 4-4-2.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2035 Youth Candidates

Another very good intake!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2036 Pre-Season

Very promising.

Can we finally live up to expectations?

I made none of these signings.

[Makoto Nakamura]

Here's how we line up for the first game (player roles will change depending on who's in the XI.)

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2036

A very strong start to the season!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

June 2036

Another win!

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2036

We were missing Shoheel through injury against Christmas so that's why we lost, definitely.

[Makoto Nakamura]

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2036

A late draw against Makin and a good win over Tamana despite having a man sent off in the 1st half leaves us 5 points clear with just 2 games to play!

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2036

We've made it back into the playoffs!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

Congrats, now you passed the phase of the career where I was at. I love me some unknown territory.

Nauti FC is a Tuvalu football club from Funafuti, playing in the Tuvalu A-Division.

The team's home ground is the Tuvalu Sports Ground, the only football field in Tuvalu. Nauti is one of the most successful teams in Tuvalu, with the most trophies of all the nations teams. Nauti plays on an amateur level, as do all the teams in Tuvalu. They also have a reserve squad and a women's team.

Nauti was founded in 1980, under the name Combined Devils. The name was initiated by Mr Igatia Talesi. In 1976, he started a mixed team of men from Funafuti and other Tuvalu Islands with the name Combined Devils.

It was in 1980, that Nauti/Combined Devils was officially recognised as the Funafuti Soccer Team. The team's first red uniform was sponsored by his Excellency the Right Hon. Kamuta Latasi. Years later, the team is still using the red color uniforms, the patterns varies but remains red and white. Nauti won the independence Cup in 1988, it was the first price won by the team and also in 1990 and 1999. In 2001 the name of the team was changed into Nauti FC.

During 1980–1990 the team was never defeated by Vaitupu, Nukulaelae, Naumaga, Nui or the Tuvalu police Team. It was only defeated once by Nukufetau (penalty kicks in 1982) once by Nanumea and once by Nuitao (Knock out tournaments). In the League Tournament Nauti was never defeated in the period 1980–1990. In 1991 the airfield was tar-sealed and soccer tournaments in the capital Funafuti came to a standstill. Soccer games were first played again in 1997.

Nauti played several finales for the Independence Cup. They won the cup in 2003, 2008 and 2009. Nauti is the most successful club in Tuvalu, having won the most titles in the Tuvalu A-Division of all the teams in Tuvalu. The Tuvalu A-Division was formed in 2001. Nauti won their first A-Division title in 2005. From 2007 on they won the league seven times in a row. 2009 was the most successful year for Nauti FC, winning a total of three trophy's.
