The first two major soccer tournaments will be played ninety minutes from next year and not sixty minutes as was done since the inception of Fiji Fact and BOG.
The Fiji Football Association had its board of control meeting under the leadership of new President, Rajesh Patel where some big decisions were made to move Fiji soccer into a new direction.
Patel said the Vodafone Fiji Fact and Inkk Mobile BOG will not be completed in five days which used to happen till this year.
Next years major soccer tournament venues have also been confirmed with the Vodafone Fiji Fact to be played at Subrail Park in Labasa, Inkk Mobile BOG in Nausori at Ratu Cakobau Park and the Courts IDC at Govind Park in Ba.
In line with this, Patel has also confirmed that some Premier teams will also play in the first two major soccer tournaments.
Furthermore, Patel also confirmed that they will run Under-21 National Soccer League Competition from next year as part of their development plan.
