Burger King Fiji has strengthened its long-standing partnership with Fiji Rugby by coming on board as the Associate Sponsor of the Skipper XV for the highly anticipated warm-up match against the Fijian Drua, marking another significant milestone in the relationship between the two organizations.
Scheduled for February 6, the match will see the nation’s top provincial talent, selected from this year’s Skipper Cup competition, take on the professional might of the Fijian Drua in what promises to be a thrilling and iconic pre-season fixture for local rugby fans.
As part of the partnership, Burger King Fiji will receive dual-sleeve branding on the Skipper XV playing jersey, securing premium branding positions on both sleeves for the match.
The sponsorship agreement further reinforces Burger King Fiji’s growing commitment to the development of Fijian rugby.
“Rugby is an integral part of Fiji’s national identity, and Burger King Fiji remains firmly committed to supporting Fiji Rugby and the continued development of the sport at all levels,” said Kavinesh Reddy, General Manager, Burger King Fiji.
“Our decision to support the Skipper XV in this landmark fixture against the Fijian Drua reflects the strength of our partnership with Fiji Rugby and our enduring confidence in the depth, quality, and future of local rugby talent.”
Fiji Rugby CEO Koli Sewabu welcomed the continued support.

“The Skipper Cup remains the heartbeat of our domestic game, and with partners like Burger King Fiji, we can continue to strengthen opportunities for our players and deliver world-class events for our fans.”
The 6 February clash will also mark the first time the Fijian Drua face a locally selected side in a formal pre-season fixture, further elevating the status of the Skipper Cup and its role in Fiji’s high-performance rugby system.
