Fiji Rugby has announced a new partnership with Dulux Fiji that will see Rugby House and the High-Performance Unit (HPU) Gym undergo refurbishment as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the foundations of the sport in the country.

As the official paint partner of Rugby House and the HPU Gym, Dulux Fiji will support upgrades to the facilities, creating a more modern, welcoming and inspiring environment for players, coaches, staff, stakeholders and the wider rugby community.

Fiji Rugby says the initiative reflects its commitment to improving the spaces where athletes prepare, coaches plan and staff work, recognizing that long-term success on the field begins with strong support structures behind the scenes.

The refurbishment of Rugby House is expected to go beyond a simple facelift, symbolizing the Union’s determination to restore pride in the headquarters of Fijian rugby and create a professional environment that reflects the aspirations of the organization.

Fiji Rugby Chief Executive Officer Koli Sewabu welcomed the partnership, describing it as an important step forward for the Union.

“This partnership with Dulux Fiji is an important step forward for Fiji Rugby. Every meaningful transformation begins with small but deliberate actions, and this is one of those moments,” Sewabu said.

“Rugby House is the heart of our organization, and we want it to reflect the pride, professionalism and ambition of Fijian rugby.”

Sewabu said improving facilities was part of a broader strategy to build a stronger organization and support the development of players and staff.

He also thanked Dulux Fiji for investing in the Union’s vision, saying partnerships of this nature demonstrate confidence in the future of Fiji Rugby.

Dulux Fiji Chief Executive Officer Roshan Singh said the company was proud to support a sport that holds a special place in the hearts of Fijians.

“Rugby is more than a sport in Fiji. It is a source of pride, unity and inspiration for our nation,” Singh said.

“We are honored to play a small part in supporting Fiji Rugby by helping create spaces that reflect the pride and passion associated with our national sport.”

Refurbishment works are expected to begin in the coming months following project planning and coordination between both organizations.

Fiji Rugby says the partnership marks another milestone in its efforts to improve operations, strengthen infrastructure and create the best possible environment for everyone involved in the game.
