The Fiji Bitter Nawaka 7s tournament has officially commenced today at Prince Charles Park in Nadi. This marks the 11th installment of the Fiji Bitter 7s series, which will conclude next week with the Marist 7s at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
Over the next three days, a remarkable total of 104 teams are set to participate across three grounds, an increase that compelled organizers to add an extra day to the originally planned two-day schedule, reflecting the high demand from teams hoping to compete. Among the 104 teams are 64 men’s teams, 32 under-18 to 21 teams, and eight women’s teams, promising vigorous competition and a showcase of local talent.
Matches are scheduled to kick off at 10 AM today and will run until approximately 5:14 PM. The excitement surrounding this event reflects the ongoing commitment to promoting grassroots rugby in Fiji, a sentiment echoed by tournament organizers and previous reports. This year’s Nawaka 7s is expected to provide a vibrant atmosphere, uniting communities and celebrating the passionate spirit of rugby that defines Fijian culture.
As rugby continues to play a pivotal role in fostering community unity and engagement, the Nawaka 7s offers not only thrilling matches but also a platform for emerging athletes to shine and gain visibility within the sport. Fans are encouraged to show their support, as their presence enhances the experience for players and helps to cultivate the next generation of rugby talent in Fiji.
