Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Communications Manoa Kamikamica has today announced that all the HSBC SVNS Series matches will be aired live on free-to-air television station Mai TV.
It will also be aired live on Sky Pacific and DTV.
Kamikamica says after constructive discussions, Digicel, the rights holder of the HSBC SVNS Series, has successfully come to an arrangement with Mai TV to extend their commercial arrangement to now include all matches from pool games to the cup finals on simultaneous broadcast on Digicel’s platforms of Sky Pacific, DTV as well as Mai TV’s free to air channel.
He says this agreement represents an important milestone in making rugby accessible to every Fijian household.
He adds rugby is not just a sport, it is a unifying force in our nation and a source of immense pride, and by bringing the SVNS Series to free-to-air television, these good corporate citizens have enabled that every Fijian, regardless of their circumstances, can cheer for our national teams and celebrate our shared love for the game.
Kamikamica extended his deep gratitude to Digicel, Sky Pacific, DTV, and Mai TV teams for working collaboratively to make this agreement a reality and says their shared vision and commitment to Fiji’s rugby fans have paved the way for this historic announcement.
The Fiji Airways Fiji Men’s 7s will play Uruguay at 12.38am Sunday before taking on Great Britain at 4.38am Sunday in their second pool match.
The Men’s Cup semi finals start at 11.56pm Sunday, with the cup final at 5.11am Monday. The Fijiana 7s will play both their games tomorrow night, taking on the USA at 7pm before facing Great Britain at 10.16pm.
