Our History

Established in 1945, the Fiji Muslim Sports Association (FMSA) is a subsidiary of the Fiji Muslim League, bringing communities together through sport, fellowship and Islamic values.

Our journey began with the first Muslim inter-district football tournament in Sigatoka. Since then, the Muslim IDC has become a proud tradition, uniting districts across Fiji in a celebration of brotherhood, discipline and community pride.

Built on the dedication of its pioneers, leaders and volunteers, FMSA continues to advance a proud legacy of sporting excellence and community service. Its growing commitment to football, futsal, netball and volleyball, alongside the introduction of Under-17 and Under-14 divisions, has opened new pathways for the next generation of Muslim athletes.

Under the leadership of Haji Javed Ahmed, the Association has embraced growth and modernisation, strengthening governance, professionalism and transparency while widening community participation. His presidency has been distinguished by the hosting of the 2022 FANCA Silver Jubilee Nations World Cup and the 2026 FANCA Nations World Cup in Nadi, celebrated as part of the Fiji Muslim League’s historic centenary. Fiji’s World Cup triumphs in both years brought added distinction to these landmark occasions, reflecting the unity, ambition and sporting spirit at the heart of FMSA.

Our connections extend beyond Fiji through FANCA, strengthening ties with Muslim sporting communities in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. A highlight was hosting the 2022 FANCA Silver Jubilee Nations World Cup, where Fiji claimed the Premier Division title.

FMSA continues to honour its heritage while building a future grounded in unity, sporting excellence and service to the community.
