Fiji's participation in World Cup commemorative coinage during the early 1990s reflected the Pacific island nation's growing engagement with football at the administrative level, though the Fijian national team has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup finals. The coin was issued ahead of USA '94, the tournament that drew record attendances still unmatched in World Cup history.
