Three players from the Vodafone Fijiana XV team participated in a promotional event hosted by their sponsor, Vodafone, giving fans a unique chance to win a trip to London for the Women’s Rugby World Cup finals in September. Carletta Yee, Anasimeci Rokovada, and Bitila Tawake engaged with supporters and customers at the Vodafone MHCC branch in Suva, where they assisted in launching a special promotion offering entries into a draw with every transaction made using the M-PAiSA Mastercard.
Shailendra Prasad, the General Manager of Digital Financial Services Pte Ltd, described the promotion as an extraordinary opportunity for two lucky winners to experience the excitement of the Women’s Rugby World Cup finals at the legendary Twickenham Stadium, emphasizing that this trip is more than a simple journey—it’s a “rugby pilgrimage.”
During the event, the Fijiana players were met with enthusiasm from fans who took the opportunity to snap photographs, collect autographs, and win prizes by answering trivia about the team. The players expressed their excitement about connecting with fans as they continue to prepare for their upcoming Test match against the United States before the World Cup kicks off later this month.
The Fijiana XV is coming off a recent match where they faced defeat against the Australian Wallaroos, but their participation in promotional activities signifies ongoing support for the team and builds momentum as they gear up for the prestigious tournament.
This initiative demonstrates the increasing engagement surrounding women’s rugby in Fiji and highlights the importance of community involvement and corporate partnerships in nurturing the sport’s growth. As the countdown to the World Cup continues, such promotions not only foster a deeper connection between fans and players but also build a more inclusive atmosphere surrounding women’s rugby in the region.
The rising excitement around these events points to a hopeful future for women’s rugby in Fiji, showcasing the potential of the Fijiana XV on the global stage.
