OFC President David Chung says Patel has taken Fiji football to new heights during his first term and he now has the opportunity to build on that success.
“Firstly, congratulations to Rajesh on his re-appointment to the position of President of Fiji Football Association,” Chung says.
“We have seen in the success of Fiji’s U-20 and U-23 squads that Fiji football is on the rise.
“Rajesh has committed to the ongoing development of football at grassroots and youth levels and therefore we will continue to see the fruits of this mandate in the coming years.”
The position of Fiji FA President was contested by Patel and former Lautoka president Shalendra Prasad with the former picking up 37 votes in contrast to Prasad’s count of 16.
Tarunesh Reddy earned 44 votes giving him an impressive 83 per cent of support in his successful bid to retain the vice-president west post.
Yogeshwar Singh was also re-elected to a vice-president position, while Labasa businessman Edwin Chand won the vice-president north seat after standing unopposed.
