FIJI NATIONAL SPORTS COMMISSION AUGUST 2021 - JULY 2022 ANNUAL REPORT Cover Sports Development Programs Our Mission To encourage every citizen to actively participate in sports and physical activity for a healthy nation.

Our Vision To enrich the lives and health of all Fijians through physical activities.

Despite the challenges, Fiji fielded a team of 64 participants, representing the sports of Athletics, Boxing, Judo, Lawn Bowls, Men’s and Women’s Rugby 7s, Squash, Swimming, Table Tennis, Triathlon and Weightlifting.
I commend all our athletes for their determination and commitment in the face of difficult conditions I am pleased to report that both our Men’s and Women’s Rugby 7s teams won Silver medals, Taniela Rainibogi won Bronze in the Men’s 76 kg Weightlifting and Paralympian Naibili Vatunisolo brought home Bronze, for the Women’s Discus competition.
At the Annual National Sports Organization Conference, we celebrated 10 years of achievements in establishing and sharing the key values of fair play, teamwork, inclusion, cooperation and respect for others, in both elite sports and with the wider community, through our development and activity programs.

So it was fitting that the conference program was expanded to include a day dedicated to the first-ever Community Sports Association Conference, including the disabilities sector.
These delegates were also welcomed as participants at the National Sports Organization Conference.

The spirit of inclusion continued with the Paralympics - Fiji Eligibility Workshop.

My sincere thanks to the Australian Government and Sports Inclusive Australia–Virtus for their assistance that made this workshop possible.
The 5-day, TAFISA (The Association For International Sports) Women in Sports Leadership Workshop was also a milestone achievement, which brought together 50 women, from Fiji and the Pacific region, via a virtual platform, to inspire and promote social change through sports.

I am grateful that the Sports Commission had the opportunity to co-host this important conference, through a collaborative partnership with the Ministry of Youth & Sports, ONOC and Oceania Rugby.
We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with our stakeholders in the development of excellence in our elite sports people.

Our commitment to the wider community is equally as strong, as we continue working to promote healthy lifestyles and activities for all Fijians of all ages, regardless of their ability levels.

I am pleased to present the Fiji National Sports Commission Annual Report for the August 2021 - July 2022 Financial Year.
Once again, the year under review was marked by the presence of COVID-19 with its on-going impact on the world of sports and recreational activities.

And again, the Fiji National Sports Commission (FNSC) rallied, drawing on its resources to meet the recurring challenges presented by the pandemic.
The Commission continued to work closely with the Ministry of Youth & Sports and the Ministry of Health & Medical Services in ensuring the safety of all stakeholders in the sporting and recreational activity sector.

Our close cooperation with the Ministries had already resulted in our establishing Safe Sport protocols of the highest standards.

These had to be met before sporting bodies and community organizations could be certified as safe sports compliant.
In September 2021, the virtual launch of our Return to Sports and Recreational Activity Framework ensured the continued protection of all referees, coaches, technical officials and all athletes, whether elite players or community participants.

The introduction of the 3 Level Traffic Light System provided appropriate responses to levels of infection and pathways for the safe return to sports.

Briefly, Red Level applied to the ‘lockdown’ mode.


This meant restricted training, away from sports training facilities, and either alone or with people from one’s own ‘bubble’.

Amber Level allowed for non-contact sports and non-contact training to take place, still with certain protocols and restrictions, although gatherings of up to 30 people could be held and venues could cater for up to 70% capacity.
Green Level allowed for the resumption of all normal sporting activities, including close contact sports.

In November 2021, we were able to move to the Green Level, with a return to active sporting participation.

This changed back to Amber in January 2022, but thankfully, returned to Green again in February.
