The Fiji Football Association will be strictly adhering to the COVID-19 protocols for the Digicel Premier League matches at the ANZ Stadium, Churchill Park and Uprising Sports Centre following a new border quarantine case that might pose a risk of community transmission.

According to the Fiji FA chief executive officer Mohammed Yusuf, it is mandatory for all patrons to have their CareFiji app activated at all times.

“Anyone without the app on their smart phones will not be allowed into the grounds,” he said.

“A valid photo ID will be required if an individual does not own a smart phone.

“There will be mandatory temperature checks at the gate and every individual will have to use the hand sanitizers.”

Yusuf said all the respective team players and officials will also have to comply with the COVID-19 protocols.

“The reserve players and officials must be wearing a face mask.

“There will neither be any handshakes by the players nor will any of the teams be allowed to be in a huddle to pray or have a team talk.”

The Nadroga native added there will be nil kava consumption and only family members will be allowed to sit in the bubble.

Yusuf sternly reminded all football fanatics to adhere to the health guidelines and any patron found in breach of the COVID-19 protocols will be removed from the premises.

The advice follows after a member of the security forces working within a quarantine facility apparently contracted the virus however he had received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine which means his risk of severe infection is hugely reduced.
