A total of 32 gold medals will be contested on the opening day of the 2025 Coca-Cola Games, including the eagerly awaited 100m finals, which will occur on day one for the second consecutive year. This scheduling change, introduced at last year’s Games, is intended to enhance excitement and create momentum right from the start of the event. Traditionally, the 100m finals were held on the second day, but organizers have opted for this new approach to space out significant events throughout the competition.
The decision has been met with positive feedback, leading to larger crowds on day one and setting a thrilling atmosphere for the three-day athletic showcase. This year, over 2,600 athletes from all over Fiji, including Rotuma, are expected to participate, reflecting the intense spirit and dedication seen in prior events.
The Coca-Cola Games National Championships will be held at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva starting this Thursday. Viewers can catch all three days of action live on FBC TV, ensuring the excitement reaches a wider audience.
Incorporating insights from past articles, the 2025 Coca-Cola Games mark a significant moment not only for athletic competition but for community engagement as well. With the Fiji Secondary Schools Athletics Association (FSSAA) celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, there is a palpable sense of pride and enthusiasm among participants and supporters. Previous events bolstered by strong sponsorships and community participation, including the recent national torch relay, have amplified interest in athletics—signifying a hopeful future for sports in Fiji.
As the Games draw near, the anticipation surrounding them nourishes a vibrant culture of youth athletics, highlighting the promise of emerging talents across the nation.
