Team Fiji is looking at around $3 million for all athletes to participate in the upcoming Pacific Mini Games in Palau.

Team Fiji will be participating in 12 different sports.

According to FASANOC, the total cost of sending athletes to the Games is shared equally between the Fijian Government, FASANOC and the respective national sporting federations, which is one-third of the expenses.

Team Fiji’s Chef de Mission, Josaia Tuinamata informed fijivillage News that a lottery has been launched as a supplementary fundraising initiative.

He says the lottery is due on June 2nd and the draw is scheduled for June 13th.

The 2025 Pacific Mini Games is scheduled to take place from the 29th of June to the 9th of July.
