The 2025 Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby League (FSSRL) national quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals will be streamed live on FBC Sports, marking an important milestone for both the Fijian Broadcasting Corporation (FBC) and the FSSRL with a newly established three-year partnership.
The matches will be held at two prominent venues: Prince Charles Park in Nadi will host the national quarterfinals and finals, while Garvey Park in Tavua will be the site for the semifinals. FSSRL president Naisa Toko hailed this collaboration as a landmark moment for the organization, highlighting the fantastic opportunity it provides for young players to demonstrate their abilities to potential overseas scouts.
Sitiveni Halofaki, FBC Director of TV, spotlighted the significance of the event on the schools sports calendar, emphasizing the opportunity for fans to witness thrilling matchups. The competition is set to see participation from over 100 schools, with action beginning this weekend across various zones.
This initiative symbolizes a broader commitment to advancing grassroots rugby in Fiji, reflecting previous similar efforts aimed at nurturing local talent, such as the Fiji Bitter Nawaka 7s and the FSC U20 7s competition. As rugby remains deeply ingrained in Fijian culture, these developments underline the importance of creating pathways for emerging athletes to thrive in the sport.
The excitement surrounding these upcoming events illustrates Fiji’s unwavering dedication to fostering talent and reinforcing sports as a unifying element within the community. The live broadcasts are expected to enhance the visibility of local talent and inspire a new generation of rugby players in Fiji.
