Fiji’s Golden Boy Roy Krishna will not only turn out for Extra Supermarket Bula FC this season but will also help shape the club’s identity, with his personal brand RK21 confirmed as the club’s official apparel sponsor.
The dual role marks a rare player-led partnership in local football, combining elite playing experience with off-field investment in professionalism.
Krishna said the move reflects his belief in what Bula FC is trying to build as a new professional outfit in Fiji.
“This is a new professional club, and when they approached me, I felt it was a great opportunity to be part of something special.”
The national captain explained that RK21, a brand he has been developing for nearly three years, will manufacture kits both locally and internationally to meet professional standards.
Drawing from his years playing abroad, Krishna stressed the importance of quality apparel in modern football.
“In professional football, the kit matters the most. When a player wears a jersey, they should feel like a professional. I think that’s something we’ve lacked in Fiji.”
Krishna believes his experience wearing top-level kits overseas gives him a clear understanding of what players need to perform with confidence.
With Krishna set to feature for Bula FC on the pitch while RK21 outfits the team, the club hopes the partnership will set new benchmarks for professionalism in Fijian football.
The club will open the historic competition against Vanuatu United FC in a 2pm kick-off.
