The Fiji Football Associations elections will be held at around this time next year. Being fully aware that the the standard of the sport has greatly slumped in the past few years, the current administration is very concerned about retaining their positions. The by-elections last year provided a good indication of the number of votes that the current administration backed candidates will get. In order to assure their continued rule, the current administration is now attempting to introduce reforms to the Fiji FA constitution which will eliminate all competition to the incumbents. These amendments will be tabled at the Fiji FA annual congress next week. These reforms will make the nomination criteria the most restrictive ever in Fiji FAs history and all but assure that the current administration will continue beyond 2015, despite their dismal performance. District football administrators have had the reputation of playing to the whims of the top brass, and putting their own interests before that of the sport. Those that have genuinely tried to change the culture of mediocrity and challenge the current leadership have been eliminated, often with no legitimate reason. I challenge the district football administrators to do the right thing this time around and exonerate themselves of this unflattering reputation. You owe this to the sport you love and to the football fans of this country. Do not let the beautiful game be captured by a group of people who have not done any real justice to their positions. Lets not deny the youths and other enthusiasts the opportunity to administer the sport and take it to greater heights.
