Bula Football Club, also known as Bula FC, is a men's professional association football club based in Fiji. It first competed in the OFC Professional League (OFCPL) as one of the founding members for the inaugural 2026 season.
History Fiji’s Bula FC made history as one of the eight preferred clubs confirmed for the inaugural OFC Professional League, kicking off on January 10, 2026.
Bula FC is Fiji’s first professional football club, built on the deep roots of a game that has been part of Fiji's national story since 1938. Football in Fiji was a way for the indentured labourers and the indigenous iTaukei to express identity and unity, bringing together people from different backgrounds and creating a shared passion for football.
Over time, football became popular in most of the Fiji communities including Rotumans, Rabi Islanders, Solomon Islanders, Part Europeans, and others who call Fiji home. The patterns, colours, and symbols of the Bula FC brand represents the land and the people of Fiji.
Colours and badge In October 2025, the club unveiled their new identity consisting of a new name and badge. The badge depicts traditional Fijian symbols such as the ibe mat and magimagi rope.

Organization Bula FC is majority-owned by the Fiji Football Association (Fiji FA). While it shares the nickname of the Fiji national football team, it intends to operate independently from the Fiji FA – similarly to the relationship between the Fijian Drua of Super Rugby and the Fiji Rugby Union. The Fiji FA is seeking financial support for Bula FC from the Government of Fiji, who had helped fund the Fijian Dura and the NSWRL's Kaiviti Silktails.
League Bula FC participates as one of eight founding clubs in the OFC Professional League, which began on 17 January 2026. The league determines the Oceania representative for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Stadium The club plays in the HFC Bank Stadium.
