Waisea Nayacalevu was announced as the new Brand Ambassador for the Dubai Knights.

The former Flying Fijians skipper who is contracted to Nice for 2 seasons, including their current campaign, spends his day’s off and holidays helping the club with skills, training and exposure.

They released the following on their official Instagram page;

“Knights proudly welcome our Brand Ambassador Waisea Nayacalevu

From the islands to the world stage, Waisea embodies the true spirit of rugby and the fire of experience. Now, he joins us in Dubai to inspire our journey forward.

As Brand Ambassador, Waisea will share his experience, spirit, and strength to guide the next chapter of Knights RFC, standing tall with our 3 C’s: Courage, Commitment, Community.

Together, we move with purpose, pride, and power.”

Waisea Nayacalevu made his National 1 debut for Nice in their round 3 matchup against Bourgoin. He started at Outside Centre, pairing up with fellow Fijian Christa Powell.

They won the game 23-20.

Flying Fijians captain Waisea Nayacalevu has announced his retirement from international rugby. The 40 capped Centre made the announcement via social media post.

“This is not an easy decision — because rugby has been more than just a game to me. It’s been my passion, my purpose, and my teacher. It has taken me around the world, allowed me to form lifelong bonds, and given me the honour of standing shoulder to shoulder with warriors who bleed for this nation.”

The Ospreys and Waisea Nayacalevu have reached a mutual agreement to end his short-term playing contract with the Club.

Waisea signed in February and was due to remain with the Club until June but, due to personal reasons, it has been mutually agreed to end his contract with immediate effect.
