Fiji’s football star Roy Krishna is set to make waves this season not just as a player for Extra Supermarket Bula FC, but also as a pivotal force in shaping the club’s identity through his own brand, RK21. This unique initiative marks a significant shift in local football, combining Krishna’s playing prowess with his mission to elevate professionalism in the sport.
Krishna shared his excitement about being part of Bula FC, a new professional team, stating, “When they approached me, I felt it was a great opportunity to be part of something special.” His brand, RK21, developed over the last three years, will provide high-quality kits crafted to meet both local and international standards, which is essential for fostering a professional image.
With a wealth of experience in elite football, Krishna highlighted the importance of quality apparel in boosting players’ confidence and on-field performance. “In professional football, the kit matters the most. When a player wears a jersey, they should feel like a professional. I think that’s something we’ve lacked in Fiji,” he noted.
As Krishna prepares to take to the pitch in the Bula FC jersey, the collaboration with RK21 is anticipated to uplift the standards of Fijian football. The team’s inaugural match in a historic competition will be against Vanuatu United FC at 2 PM. This partnership not only underscores Krishna’s dedication to his club and nation but also represents a hopeful stride towards enhancing the landscape of football in Fiji.
