Supporters can anticipate a vibrant Fijian-themed match-day experience, including traditional hair braiding, a themed photo booth with Fijian warriors and the chance to win a dream holiday to Fiji.
Gold Coast SUNS Chief Executive Mark Evans says the partnership reflects the club’s commitment to the growth of the Gold Coast community and its expanding profile, both nationally and internationally.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Fiji Airways to the our club,” Evans said.
“Fiji Airways are playing a leading role in deepening connections between the Gold Coast and the pacific region, and just like the Gold Coast SUNS, are committed to supporting the continued growth of the Gold Coast as a major destination.
“This partnership will not only provide benefits and open opportunities for SUNS members and fans looking to travel into the pacific region, but it will further elevate our home game matchday experience at People First Stadium in 2026.”
Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Paul Scurrah said the partnership was a natural fit as the airline expanded its presence on the Gold Coast.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to strengthening our ties to the Gold Coast region at an exciting time for both Fiji Airways and the club,” Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Paul Scurrah said.
“Partnering with the SUNS allows us to connect with the local community in a meaningful and engaging way as the team builds on its success from last season.
“Through this partnership, we’ll engage with thousands of fans, highlighting our new direct service that will get locals to Fiji faster than ever before, allowing them to experience the authentic warmth and happiness of the nation from the moment they step on board.”
