Fiji Football Association (FFA) has proposed the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium in Lomolomo, located just a few kilometers from Lautoka City and in the direction of Nadi Airport. This area is known for its sandy beach and is a popular spot for both beachgoers and fishermen. The announcement regarding this multi-million dollar project was made by FFA some time ago, though the actual progress remains uncertain. There was a previous proposal for a similar project in Bila, Nadi, which did not materialize. The Lomolomo stadium project is seen as crucial for attracting more international competitions and visitors, highlighting its potential economic benefits. Updates from the relevant authorities would be appreciated, as the successful realization of this facility could significantly contribute to sports and tourism in the region.

Further, someone’s skepticism was voiced about Chaudhry’s hopes for transparency from George Speight, the figure behind the 2000 coup. There is a widespread belief that vested interests will prevent the full truth from emerging, leaving victims yearning for a future without political turmoil.
