Fiji Football Associatio­n has revised its financial and football operations season from January 1 to December 31 every year.

This was decided during the recent Board of Control meeting, keeping into considerat­ion that Fiji FA is in line with the governing body FIFA.

Chief executive officer Mohammed Yusuf confirmed this via a circular.

“I wish to inform that the Fiji FA Board of Control at its recent meeting resolved that in order to be in line with FIFA financial and operation obligation­s, the new season for financial and football operations for Fiji Football will now be from January 1 to December 31 every year.

“This was also tabled in the last Council meeting for necessary adoption and informatio­n to all the affiliated district associatio­ns and other football stakeholde­rs,” Yusuf said.

He said this would also bring changes to the player transfer window.

“As a result of the above, and since the new season is now set to begin in 2019 (prefix), which means we will now have to start with a new pre-season transfer period which will be from January 1-31 2019.

“Also we intend to start off with all our competitio­ns early next year and we will give few new age group competitio­ns which will be communicat­ed soon.”
