Fiji Football Association (FFA) is proposing to construct a modern stadium in Lomolomo, located a few kilometers from Lautoka City, near Nadi airport. This area is not only known for its commercial activities but also features a sandy beach that attracts beachgoers and fishermen. The announcement of this multi-million dollar project was made by FFA some time ago, and its realization remains uncertain. A similar initiative was once proposed in Bila, Nadi, but never materialized. It is essential that the Lomolomo project progresses without delay, as such a facility could help attract international competitions and visitors, bringing economic benefits. Updates from relevant authorities would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes to Fiji FA on this ambitious venture.
