Yusuf says even the government through the Fiji National Sports Commission will assist them as well.

“With whatever funds that have been confirmed to come our way from FIFA and Oceania Football, locally we don’t see anything apart from the government paying the coach salary”

Fiji Football along with other sporting federations have ceased all sporting activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
