BlueSky Samoa yesterday presented two cheques worth more than $1.4 million to the Samoa Rugby Union (S.R.U).
The presentation was held at the Prime Minister’s office, as part of the company’s sponsorship for the Manu Samoa Sevens.
This is the second year of BlueSky and the S.R.U’s partnership, which gives BlueSky naming rights to the national Sevens team, alongside the Samoa International Finance Authority (S.I.F.A).

The first cheque was for $897,700 as the company’s contribution to the S.R.U to prepare the Manu Samoa Sevens for the I.R.B Sevens World Series 2014/2015.
The second cheque was a $525,000, which was the available bonus for the Manu Samoa 7’s players, should they make it to the finals of the remaining legs of the World Series. BlueSky Chief Executive Officer (C.E.O), Aoe’e Adolfo Montenegro, handed the cheques over to the Chairman of the Samoa Rugby Union and Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Malielegaoi.
“We are pleased to once again give our full support to the development of Sevens rugby, in particular enhancing Manu Samoa Sevens performance on a global level,” said Aoe’e.
“Manu Samoa is an immense source of pride and joy in our country and we are thrilled to be part of strengthening that legacy into the future".
The Manu Samoa 7’s team is back home to prepare for the next leg of the World Sevens Series, which will be held in Dubai from the 5th to the 6th of December 2014.
Prime Minister Tuilaepa thanked BlueSky for their support.
