Fijian ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Naipote Katonit­abua and his team from the Fijian embassy in Abu Dhabi paid a visit to the Fiji Sevens men’s and wom­en’s team at the JW Marriot Hotel­on Tuesday.

Katonitabua and his staff were ac­companied by the UAE Fijian com­munity executive members.

In his address Katonitabua wished both teams (men and Fijiana) the best in their upcoming back to back Dubai tournaments.

He encouraged the players that there was a time for everything and this was their time to shine with God as their guiding light and strength. He also reminded the players to remember the itatau and various last words of encourage­ment from their homes and fami­lies and to use these as motivation while representing their country in the two tournaments.

The group also presented their ise­vusevu and had brought assorted fruits for the players and manage­ment staff.

This was in addition to their gen­erous donations of cartons of Fiji Water.
