The ceremony was well attended by Samoa Rugby Union officials including the President, Namulauulu Sami Leota, Board member, Seumanu Douglas Ngau Chun and Manu Samoa Manager, Va’aelua Aloi Alesana, who all have roots in Safotulafai.
Fogapoa, in Faasaleleaga No. 2, is also the village of the famous Tuilagi brothers.
