Yusuf has urged all 20 affiliated clubs of the Fiji FA to put forward nominations for their dedicated members, encouraging widespread participation to ensure that all deserving individuals are honored during the awards night.
He also announced the introduction of several new award categories, showcasing the varied contributions within Fiji’s football scene. The awards to be presented include categories such as Male and Female Footballer of the Year, Young Footballer of the Year (Male and Female), Futsal Player of the Year (Male and Female), Team of the Year, Administrator of the Year, Coach of the Year, Referee of the Year, Elite Player of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and Employee of the Year.
