Gujarati comp starts today

The Fiji Gujarati Sports Association (FGSA) will pay homeage to the girmitiyas during their three-day football tournament at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori. The tournament kicks-off today and will conclude on Sunday.

This was the view of FGSA assistant secretary Nishant Kumar during an interview with SUNsports yesterday.

“Girmit day is special, especially to our community as they came in so we could come in,” he said.

“It’s very special to share the tournament on the same day.”

Kumar added that the Girmit holiday is likely to attract a crowd in their tournament.

“Come on down to the park, mingle with each other and hopefully we can have some good fellowship. It’s going to be an exciting weekend, and everyone is looking forward to it.”

Last year’s finallist FMF Suva will be the team to watch this weekend.
