A new format for the Digicel Premier League tournament will be introduced next year.

Fiji FA President Rajesh Patel confirms the league will now be increased to 28 matches with 4 rounds.

“It’s more game time and everything so the players stay fit and that is the whole reason for it and the more matches you play the better the fitness and qualification chances you have got for the World Cups.”

There will be 2 home games and 2 away games.

Currently, the DPL has 14 games with 2 rounds.

Also for next year, the Fiji Fact Tournament will be played at Lawaqa Park, the Battle of the Giants will be held at Churchill Park while the ANZ Stadium will be the venue for the IDC.

Patel adds that they are still trying to finalize the dates.
