He said the tournament was being organised by the Nadi Airport business house committee on behalf of the Nadi Bula Festival Association.

"The pool matches will start at 6pm on Friday," Nand said.

"It will continue on Saturday with the finals scheduled for Sunday. This is the first time that we are organising a futsal tournament at the Nadi Sports Club. The games will be controlled by the Nadi Referee's Association."
