Fasting is set to begin tomorrow, and league executives have expressed their heartfelt wishes for all participants, urging them to embrace the spirit of this sacred month and strive towards goodness and righteousness.
This announcement comes amidst an exciting time for the Fiji Muslim community, as they also prepare for the upcoming Tebara FANCA Nations Muslim World Cup Championship 2024. This tournament, which kicks off tomorrow at Churchill Park in Lautoka, will see teams from five nations—Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States—compete over five days in various categories, including Under-17, Premier, Veterans, Masters, and Legends.

He expressed pride in the Fiji FANCA team’s capabilities and highlighted their commitment to defending their title, having emerged victorious in the last championship held in 2022.
Overall, as the holy month of Ramadhan begins alongside a significant sporting event, there is a sense of hope and community spirit within the Fiji Muslim League and the wider Fiji society.
