Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s side skipper Vatemo Ravouvou says it is good to be back in Hong Kong as they have good memories there.
It was a sentimental jersey presentation in the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team camp last night.
The players were given the honour of presenting the jersey to their teammate.
Taking a look at Fiji’s record at So Kon Po Stadium is enviable with five title wins in a row before the pandemic in 2020 and seven wins in eight going back to 2012.
Ravouvou says winning all those years in a row, the best bit was playing as a team.
In total, Fiji have been crowned champions on 19 occasions and been finalists 30 times – including the last two years where they were beaten by New Zealand in the decider.
