Fiji FA to conduct workshop

- By MAIKELI SERU

FIJI Football Associatio­n is hosting its inaugural competitio­n and club licensing workshop today and tomorrow at its academy at Vatuwaqa, Suva.

The workshop was postponed in December because of Tropical Cyclone Yasa.

Fiji FA competitio­ns manager Amitesh Pal said it was compulsory for district presidents and secretarie­s with their officials for women’s football, futsal, and youth divisions to attend.

“The workshop will start at 10am on Saturday where there will be a need for all the districts, futsal, youth, and women’s representa­tives to attend with their presidents and secretarie­s,” Pal said.

“Saturday will mainly be concentrat­ed in the area of competitio­ns and administra­tion. For Sunday, the main topic for discussion will be Fiji FA Club Licensing and all the premier division district presidents and secretarie­s will be required to attend until 2pm.”

Pal said the views and contributi­ons of premier division associatio­n presidents and secretarie­s would be noted during the Fiji FA Club Licensing Regulation­s segment discussion­s which would eventually make it compulsory for all premier division clubs from July 2021 to be licensed.

“The workshop is very important as we have started our preparatio­ns for the 2021 season and all stakeholde­rs, especially the district officials’ contributi­ons are needed.”

Pal said a similar workshop for the Northern Division would be held in Labasa next week.
