ANZ Fiji has announced a renewed sponsorship deal with the Fijian Drua, that has now expanded to include the Fijian Drua Women.

ANZ Fiji Country Head, Rabih Yazbek says they are very proud to have been part of the support team behind the Fijian Drua since their inception three years ago, and now they are pleased to welcome the Drua Women into the fold.

Yazbek says their involvement isn’t just a financial sponsorship, with ANZ continuing to be the official bank of the Drua, helping fund the club’s high-performance centre and delivering financial literacy training to the entire squad.

The ANZ Fiji Country Head says it’s no secret that rugby holds a unique place in the hearts of Fijians, and they are looking forward to another exciting season.

Yazbek noted that the addition of the women’s team aligns with ANZ’s strong focus on helping women achieve success in all fields – from sport to personal finance and business.

Fijian Drua Chief Executive Mark Evans says they deeply value the relationship with ANZ, and they are delighted to continue working together and to broaden the partnership with the inclusion of the fantastic Drua women’s side.

Evans says this expanded partnership shows ANZ’s genuine commitment to the growth and development of women in professional sport in Fiji.
