Fiji Football Association (Fiji FA) chief executive officer Bob Kumar says everything is in place for another successful Fiji FACT, an event which started back in 1991.
“We have come a very long way in terms of the Fiji FACT and it is a proud moment for Fiji FA as we welcome the 21st edition,” he says.
“Fiji FA is grateful to the sponsors and officials who have contributed a lot to make this one of the major highlights in the sporting calendar of Fiji. This is the third consecutive year that Vodafone has come on board to sponsor the Fiji FACT and Fiji FA is thankful for their continued support,” Kumar says.
The Fiji FA CEO believes fans will have plenty to enjoy over the five-day tournament.
“We have made the final checks and everything seems in order for yet another successful event,” he says. “Fiji FA is working closely with Lautoka City Council to see that the fans are provided with the best facilities and service for the Vodafone Fiji FACT.”
