Former Socceroo Luke Wilkshire, a notable figure in FIFA circles, has been announced as the chief guest for the 2024 Fiji Football Association Awards Night. Fiji FA Chief Executive Mohammed Yusuf expressed great enthusiasm about Wilkshire’s participation in the event.
“It’s a true honor to have a FIFA Legend at our event,” Yusuf remarked. He emphasized that Wilkshire’s distinguished international career and contributions to Australian football would serve as a source of inspiration for the Fijian football community.
Wilkshire is scheduled to attend the Flick Hygiene Pacific Cup matches at Churchill Park in Lautoka, as well as visit the Fiji Ba Academy. This commitment underlines his desire to engage deeply with the local football scene.
The presence of the former Socceroo midfielder at the Awards Night, along with his interactions with local football participants, is expected to have a profound influence on both football enthusiasts and aspiring players alike. This year’s Fiji FA Awards Night will honor various individuals, with 16 awards available to recognize players, officials, and contributors. The event is set to take place at the Crowne Plaza in Nadi on December 1.
As Fiji football continues to grow, events like these, enhanced by the participation of legends like Wilkshire, foster community spirit and motivate the next generation of athletes.
