“It’s a timely boost for us in our preparation and it’s a big amount of money and I know it will really help us in whatever support we have to iron out during this few days and President has said yeas it’s for Fiji.”

The sponsorship top-up was promised by the Fiji FA president Rajesh Patel when handing over the $50,000 initial sponsorship to both representatives from Fiji early this year.
