Courts is extremely pleased to redeem the sponsorship for the Courts Inter-District Championship (IDC) tournament.
These were the opening words of the Vision Investment Limited chief executive officer P.L. Munasinghe during the Courts IDC 2019 pool draws at the Courts Lautoka branch last Thursday.
“The Courts IDC tournament is one of the oldest in the country as it started in 1938 and 2019 will be its 81st consecutive year of the tournament which indeed is a huge milestone.
“Courts is sponsoring this tournament since 1999 that’s continuous 20 year period and we have just signed last year of another 5 years and it’s likely we will continue to sponsor this tournament,” he said.
Munasinghe said Courts IDC is a very special tournament and arguably the most formidable tournament in the Fiji FA calendar.
“The 20 years that we have been sponsoring this tournament, Courts and IDC are regarded almost synonymous.
“Remember last year I said we can’t think of IDC without Courts and Courts without IDC.
“The fans also look forward to the tournament because this particular tournament is actually very unique in the sense the atmosphere in the ground, we feel it’s like a carnival or a festival. It is very unique.”
He said the IDC tournament brings to the forefront the fierce rivalry of districts and as a result the quality of football is of very high standard.
