Laurel Vaurasi has been appointed to the FIFA Football Tribunal as a member in the Dispute Resolution Chamber.

Vaurasi says it really is an honour and a privilege to be appointed to the FIFA Football Tribunal.

She says she is thankful to the Fiji FA and its President Rajesh Patel in nominating her.

Vaurasi adds that hopefully this FIFA appointment will encourage other women to take up more leadership roles in football and not just limit their involvement to the field.

Vaurasi is the first female President of the Fiji Law Society, a position she held for four years starting in 2016.

Fiji FA President Rajesh Patel says Vaurasi’s appointment in the world’s governing body of football was a great accomplishment of not just Fiji FA, but Fiji as a whole.

Patel has congratulated Vaurasi for such an esteemed appointment.

Fiji FA’s nomination for Vaurasi was unanimously endorsed by the 11 Oceania member countries.
