National coaches watching Vodafone Cup closely

Players competing in the 2026 Vodafone Fiji Cup are being urged to perform at their peak, as national coaches and scouts will be closely observing their games. Rajesh Singh, chair of the Fiji National Rugby League (FNRL), emphasized that this tournament presents a significant opportunity for players aiming to join the national setup.

With the Rugby League World Cup just three months away, the FNRL is actively scouting for talent to strengthen the Fiji Bati and Bulikuila rosters. Singh encouraged all participants to give their best effort in every match, highlighting that their performances will be under scrutiny by the national selectors.

Furthermore, the Fijian Broadcasting Corporation (FBC) will provide live coverage of the cup's quarter-finals, semifinals, and finals. Singh expressed satisfaction with FBC's involvement, believing the partnership will be instrumental in promoting and growing the sport of rugby league within Fiji.

Round two of the Vodafone Cup is scheduled to commence this weekend, with teams vying for a spot in the national squads.
