History
Nasinu F.A. was founded in 1976, with the formation of the Nasinu Football Association, to cater for the expanding population of the Nasinu area. Its first president was Subhas Maharaj. The team began its debut in the second division but soon moved up to the first division, where it has performed credibly. In 1995/96 Nasinu was coached by ex-English professional player Terry O'Donnell, who was also previously the successful Vanuatu National coach. Despite being in the last place of the national league and facing relegation in 1995 when he took over, the team performed admirably under O'Donnell to win the last 6 games and force a promotion-relegation playoff with Savusavu FC, which it won convincingly. The next season the club climbed the league Table to finish a credible 4th and also became runner-up in the IDC.
Il club è stato fondato nel 1938 e ha vinto il campionato nazionale per quattro volte, nel 1972, 1982, 1983 e 2021. Ha anche vinto la coppa nazionale per due volte, nel 1996 e nel 2002.
Il Nasinu FC rappresenta le Figi nelle competizioni internazionali per club, come la OFC Champions League. Ha partecipato alla competizione per sei volte, ma non è mai riuscita a superare la fase a gironi.
Il club gioca le sue partite casalinghe al Ratu Cakobau Park, che ha una capienza di 10.000 spettatori.
