The government has announced that all matches in the sevens series will now be accessible for viewing on the free-to-air channel, Mai TV. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Communications, Manoa Kamikamica, shared that this advancement follows productive discussions between Digicel, which holds the broadcasting rights for the HSBC SVNS Series, and Mai TV.
“Establishing this agreement marks a significant achievement in making rugby accessible to every household in Fiji,” Minister Kamikamica stated. He emphasized that rugby transcends just being a sport; it serves as a unifying force and a source of pride for the nation.
The SVNS Capetown Series is set to take place this weekend, promising excitement for rugby fans across the country.
This agreement not only broadens viewership access but also fosters community spirit, reflecting the deep connections that sports can build among citizens. The positive outcome of the discussions highlights the collaborative efforts between stakeholders to promote sports entertainment in Fiji.
In summary, the agreement between Mai TV and Digicel allows all Fijians to enjoy the HSBC SVNS sevens series on free-to-air television, reinforcing rugby’s role in uniting the nation. Alleviating barriers to access will likely spark increased engagement and enthusiasm among fans during the upcoming matches.
