Other sports in Fiji can reach great heights just like rugby if they have more financial support according to Zeg Investments Director Alfaaz Mallam.
He made the comments after coming on board to sponsor the upcoming Zeg Kings Boxing Promotions in Suva this month.
Zeg Investments and All Freight Logistics are no stranger in backing sports teams’ financially.
They’ve sponsored soccer, rugby, rugby league, bodybuilding and weight-lifting teams.
Mallam says they believe in giving back to the community and sports sponsorship is one of those ways.
