The Fiji Football Association is aware of a video being speculated where a staff member is allegedly been involved in dumping rubbish on a beach along the Coral Coast.

This was brought to Fiji FA’s attention via a video uploaded on Facebook, which is now viral over the social media. In a statement, the Fiji FA says it has always championed the course of protecting the environment in all our programs and events.

“We have a Social Responsibility team that is regularly engaging with the society all over Fiji for the protection and safeguarding of the environment,” the statement said.

“Fiji FA will never condone such irresponsible acts.”

Meanwhile, for this alleged action as seen in the video, the staff member has been indefinitely suspended with immediate effect and has been advised to provide a detailed report on the issue as well on his personnel capacity.

“The Fiji FA has a code of conduct policy and such actions call the immediate attention of the association to fully exhaust the internal disciplinary process. The staff member has been advised accordingly for the above actions while we will carry out our own investigations to ascertain the facts on this issue before a final decision is made by the Fiji FA Board.”
