The Oceania Football Association is mourning the passing of long time Fédération Tahitienne de Football administrator David Raparii.
He worked at the FTF in the competitions department and was a very popular member of staff.
Originally from Moorea, David was one of the FTF’s longest serving administrators and was instrumental in developing Futsal in Tahiti.
Colleagues have described David as the ‘soul of the FTF who was there 24/7 and was truly dedicated to his work.’
David was an active member of the team when the FTF hosted OFC competitions and was a wonderful support to the OFC staff at tournaments.
OFC offers its condolences to David’s family, the football family in Tahiti and will remember him as a legendary team member and a great man.
