The Coalition Government has fulfilled its promise to the Fijian rugby 7s team by awarding each member of the silver medal-winning squad from the 2024 Paris Olympics $20,000. This incentive is part of a program introduced by the government in June, which offers financial rewards of $50,000 for gold medalists, $20,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze medalists.
The funds have been sent to the Fiji Rugby Union, which will ensure that the money is deposited directly into the players’ bank accounts. The Coalition Government congratulated the team on their impressive accomplishment at the Paris Olympics and expressed anticipation for their future successes in the sport.
