The Port Vila Football Association, the largest in the country, donated the sets of uniforms to the Ifira Black Bird, Shepherds United and Yatel clubs this week as part of its goal to develop football in the region.
The kit has been supplied by Lotto New Zealand and all the shirts have numbers on the back and the names of each club.
“One of our main objectives in the league is to upgrade the standard of football in Port Vila by supplying good uniforms to the top clubs,” Vanuatu Football Federation (VFF) competitions manager Robert Calvo says.
“This is not the first time our league has supplied team uniforms for top clubs in the TVL Premier League. Last year, the league bought five full sets of uniforms for Tupuji Imere, Tafea, Amicale, Spirit 08 and Academy.”
The clubs involved are delighted to have received the strips.
“We are so grateful for this generous donation from the Port Vila Football Association,” Joel Pakoa of Shepherds United says.
“Their donation to our clubs will enable us to help our players continue to train hard and play quality football in the league.”
Calvo says the cost of the uniforms and shipment from New Zealand comes to around VUV 600,000 and will be met entirely by the PVFA.
