Fiji Football Association awards night‘s main guest speaker Wes Brown arrived into the country yesterday.

Fiji FA president Rajesh Patel said the former Manchester United and England defender has been in love with the Pacific.

“Wes has been to Tahiti in 2019 through the FIFA Legends Club and is very much in love with the Pacific Islands as a result he managed to change his very busy schedule to make his way to Fiji for this grand occasion,” said Patel.
