The Life Insurance Corporation of India ( LICI) handed over a $ 2500 cheque to the Nasinu Police Football Club to help boost the team financially earlier this week.

The Nasinu Police Football Club received the donation during LICI’s 64th Anniversary celebration.

Club president, acting Assistant Superintendent of Police Randhir Prasad, said the funds would assist the club in their preparation for the local league competitions under the Nasinu Football Association.

“We will be preparing our team with a set of jerseys, training outfits and sporting equipment,” ASP Prasad said.

ASP Prasad is grateful to LICI for supporting the club during these trying times.

“I am thankful that LICI has shown an interest to sponsor our club even during this pandemic,” he said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Itendra Nair said LICI plays a vital role in the lives of many Fijians.

“LICI makes and shapes Fijian families which has been made possible through commitment and loyalty of their staff,” DPC Nair said.

He said sports play an important role to enable them to engage in community activities through recruiting their own members.

“We take a huge part in sports to build careers in sports and change the lives of Fijians,” DPC Nair said. “Engaging the Police to play with civilian players helps engaging with society.”

LICI general manager YS Ashok said they have always been supporting sports and are happy to promote sports in Fiji.
