Patel says he will continue developing the sport in the nation.

“I am really happy today that the current management have been retained. I thank the districts for their continued support towards us and assure them that Fiji Football will look after them and also those districts who voted against me, I assure them that they will be given equal support from the Association. We will continue with the development works around the country and try our utmost best to take the nation to another level.”
