Vodafone Fiji has extended its sponsorship with the Fiji National Rugby League with a four-million dollar contract for the next three years.

The mobile service provider will sponsor all FNRL tournaments and events until 2017 as well as retain naming rights to the national team the bati.

The agreement was sealed this morning following hot on the heels of the Vodafone Fiji Bati defeat of Samoa at the Rugby League World Cup in Warrington early this morning.

Vodafone Managing Director, Aslam Khan says the win is an incredible feat and Vodafone Fiji is lucky to be associated with the champions.

FNRL chairman Peni Musunamasi applauded Vodafone for sticking with the Bati since 2006.

He says Vodafone came to the Bati’s aid seven years ago when they were thinking of withdrawing from the World Cup qualifiers due to lack of funds.
