Pacific Games

About 530 athletes from over seas island territories will visit Fiji for the South Pacific Games in August and September. The strength of the Fiji contingent is not yet known, but with many sports involved the final figure of those taking part could exceed 600.

Some of the territories have shown very little interest in some of the events.

In addition to the main Games sports of soccer, tennis and athletics, there will be volley ball, rugby, indoor basketball for men, women’s basketball, swimming, boxing, and men’s table tennis.
