Team Fiji will be participating in a total of nine sports.

“We’re not taking the Fijian delegation as one delegation, and we’re not going to stay in a games village and travel back together. We’re going to be using different waves, so that’s the Glasgow organizing committee has put our, you go three days before your event and leave two days after.
