Digicel Fiji has announced that it has matched a competitive offer for sponsorship of Fiji Rugby’s properties and submitted the required documents to FRU House.
Digicel Fiji CEO Maurice McCarthy said that Digicel has invested over $15 million in the past 7 years, and as such retains a contractual right referred to as an ‘Option to Match’.
This option was exercised by Digicel yesterday.
Digicel’s Commercial Director Andrew Skelton said he cannot reveal the competitive matching sponsorship amount but they are now awaiting FRU’s response.
However, Digicel Fiji has only exercised its option to match the competitive sponsorship for the Fijian rugby brands it was previously sponsoring.
FRU board director responsible for sponsorships Baljeet Singh has only said to us that the finalization of the sponsorships is yet to take place.
