Bula Football Club, also known as Bula FC is a men's professional association football club based in Fiji. It plans to compete in the OFC Professional League (OFCPL) as one of its eight founding teams for the inaugural 2026 season.

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 are majority-owned by the Fiji Football Association (Fiji FA).[1][2] 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.[1] 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.[2]
