The Fiji Football Association, with major sponsor Digicel Fiji, announced an additional $10,000 sponsorship assistance to the Digicel Fiji Suva Football Club as they gear up for the highly anticipated semifinal clash of the OFC Champions League 2023 in Vanuatu tomorrow.
President, Rajesh Patel, confirmed the added sponsorship is to provide a morale boost for Suva FC’s qualification to the knockout stages.
“Fiji FA and Digicel Fiji have come together once again to provide additional financial support to Suva FC for their great performance in the group stages and securing a spot in the semifinal,” Patel said.
“They are not just representing Suva but the country as a whole and we felt the need to provide as much support as we can.
“While the team management, officials and players know what is at stake for them, on behalf of my board members, staff and the entire football fraternity, I would like to wish the Suva FC side all the best for the semifinal tomorrow.”
Digicel Fiji CEO, Farid Mohammed, said they are equally proud of Suva FC’s qualification and stands confident for their progress into this tournament.
