[QUOTE="Flyingdolphins, post: 682254, member: 71794"] 24 million waw in Fijian dollars my bad. But that's still huge. It's a combine vodafone and Fiji airways sponsorship. Mizuno and cocoa cola have just come on board too. As for pro league we already have a semi pro one, with all teams having there own sponsors and stadiums. FRU is in the early stages of topping that up to full time. The latest to come on board is the Fiji sports council. I'll try and get the links As for the academy, Fiji already have 3 High performance academy they're looking to use one of those as a specialist scrum and forward academy.
