Co Kerry-based financial services and technology company Fexco Group said today it will sponsor the Tonga national rugby union team ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Fexco has had operations in the Pacific and an office in Tonga for over a decade and provides foreign currency exchange and international payment services to governments, businesses and individuals.
The company said its sponsorship will also provide crucial support for the team's travel to France, as well as supplying necessary kits and training materials for their participation in the Rugby World Cup.
Neil Hosty, Fexco CEO, said today that the group has been committed to making a positive impact in its communities for the past 40 years, through the funding of local sports clubs and other local organisations.
"We are proud to extend this commitment to the Kingdom of Tonga from the Kingdom of Kerry in Ireland," Mr Hosty said.
"This sponsorship will mark the expansion of our relationship with Tongan rugby and will see Fexco support the game from grassroots right up to professional level. We also look forward to launching similar initiatives across other locations in the region," he added.
