The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will expand its home venue footprint in the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season, with Four R Electrical Govind Park in Ba hosting a home match for the first time. The fixture is Fijian Drua versus the ACT Brumbies on Saturday, March 14, 2026.
Govind Park in Ba underwent a nine-year closure after sustaining structural damage during Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston in February 2016 and was reopened on July 31, 2025. The move to Ba marks a new chapter for the Drua’s home games, complementing the club’s traditional bases at Churchill Park in Lautoka and HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
Ticket sales for all next season’s home games will go live from December 1.
