The Flying Fijians will be wearing the Fiji Water logo on their playing shorts for the Autumn Nations Cup, beginning with their pool B opening match against France on Monday morning.
This comes after Fiji Rugby expanded its partnership deal with the company to become one of the sponsors for the Flying Fijians in the competition, in addition to being Rugby House’s major drinks supplier.
FRU Chief Executive Officer John O’Connor thanked Fiji Water for believing in them, particularly in current times when sponsorship is hard to come by.
“It’s hard to get sponsors during this tough times when COVID-19 has affected the businesses around the globe but we are so grateful to Fiji Water which believed in us and has held our hands in the difficult period,” O’Connor said.
Fiji Water Senior Vice President of Marketing, Clarence Chia said that the time was right to deepen the partnership with the Flying Fijians.
“For six years FIJI Water has been the official water of choice for the national side because we know rugby is a national passion. Now that the Internationals are welcoming rugby teams from outside of Europe, we wanted to show our support in a new way.
“We’re looking forward to seeing the Flying Fijians run on in their new kit for the match against France on Sunday. The FIJI Water team will be cheering along with the rest of the country.”
