Rugby union is the most popular sport in Fiji (especially of the sevens variety); however, rugby league, netball, and association football are also widely played. Various forms of traditional boat racing and wrestling are also popular.

Sports culture is unique as different racial fixes and cultures come together in a common interest.

The Fiji Sports Council is the custodian of all Fiji Government-owned sporting facilities around the country. Fiji Sports Council is tasked to manage, maintain and upkeep all facilities under its area of responsibilities. The Fiji Sports Council is self funding and does not receive government funding for its operational expenses. It is also one of the leading providers of quality sports and recreational facilities and programs at national, regional and international levels. It was established in 1978 under the Fiji Sports Council Act and a year later in 1979 it hosted the first South Pacific Games. Fiji Sports Council is not affiliated to FASANOC, who looks after national sporting organisations. Fiji Sports Council is a separate entity. It manages the facilities. It was established under an Act of Parliament so has its own rules. The organisation is headed by its chief executive officer Litiana Loabuka, who is governed by a board of directors chaired by Businessman Peter Mazey.
