Rewa Soccer team the 2018 Fiji FACT Champions

A record 9,500 fans watched the Vodafone Fiji FACT final between Rewa and Labasa at Ratu Cakobau Park yesterday.

The Acting President of the Fiji Football Association, Yogeshwar Singh says they can confidently say that this was the biggest crowd to watch a single game at district level in Fiji.

Singh says there have been tournaments in the past where over 9,000 fans have come to the grounds on a single day, but it was not for just one match.

A number of soccer fans also stood on the opposite ends of the ground and watched the final for three hours straight as they could not find space on the stands.
