The Fiji Sports Commission will be meeting with different sporting bodies this week to get clarification on the amount of funds that will be distributed to them next week.

Fijivillage has received information that the Fiji Rugby Union had submitted that they wanted $1.7 million to focus on the preparation for the Men’s and Women's 7s teams to the Olympic Games next year.

According to the 2020/2021 National Budget Estimates, the Fiji Sports Commission has been allocated $970,465 with $1 million allocated for overseas sports tournaments.

Fiji National Sports Commission Executive Chairman Peter Mazey says the sporting bodies had submitted their budget proposal in February.

Mazey says they expect to distribute the funds to these sporting bodies by next week.
