Fiji Rugby League scene is set to take center stage this year, as Fiji National Rugby League acting chief executive Don Natabe has unveiled Fiji to host five nations in the upcoming Pacific Championships.
He said it would be held in the Sugar City of Lautoka.
This month-long rugby league festival was scheduled to captivate audiences from late October to November, promising an electrifying display of talent.
Natabe is particularly excited about the prospects of the Fiji Bati and Fiji Bulikula competing in front of their home crowd.
He aims to incorporate Fiji Residents matches into the mix, providing a platform for local talents to shine.
“It will be a busy year, the path is a lot clearer now, our national head coach is looking to work with local coaches to hopefully secure six players from the Vodafone Cup directly into the Fiji Bati and Fiji Bulikula,” said Natabe.
“I’m truly encouraged by the progress and growth of Rugby League in Fiji, we’ve got some outstanding players making their mark, and the pool of young talent is really promising.”
As preparations for the Pacific Championships gather momentum, the anticipation for a grand sporting spectacle in Lautoka continues to build.
