Currently, over 20 participants are registered, which ElMoussawi says is a promising start.

Reflecting on the program’s beginnings in New Zealand with only 10 participants, he noted that the number has since surged to over 200, demonstrating the potential for growth in Fiji as well.

The tournament, starting at 11 a.m., will feature categories like men’s bodybuilding, men’s classic, and men’s physique, as well as figure and bikini competitions.

Tickets will be available at the door for $25.
