Fiji Airways has announced that its player, Terio Tamani, has been suspended for four games due to a breach of the airline’s disciplinary code.
Tamani, a midfielder for the Fiji Airways soccer team, was found guilty of misconduct during a match against the New Zealand All Whites last week. The 25-year-old player was accused of using abusive language towards an opponent and was subsequently charged with a Level 2 offense under the airline’s disciplinary code.
The suspension will take effect immediately and will last for four games, ruling Tamani out of the upcoming matches against the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. The airline has also fined Tamani $1,000 as part of his punishment.
“We take a strong stance against any form of misconduct on and off the pitch,” said a spokesperson for Fiji Airways. “Terio’s behavior was unacceptable and we will not tolerate such behavior from our players. We hope that he will learn from this experience and be more mindful of his actions in the future.”
Tamani has apologized for his actions and expressed his disappointment at being suspended. “I regret my behavior during the match and I understand why I have been suspended,” he said. “I will use this time to reflect on my actions and come back stronger for my team.”
Fiji Airways is committed to promoting a positive and respectful culture within its team and will continue to work with its players to ensure that they conduct themselves in a professional and sporting manner.
