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.
