The football venue is set to be transformed to celebrate the country's culture and heritage.

The Nations Championship clash, which is a designated home fixture for the Fijians, will be held at the home of the League One club on July 4.

Fiji are hosting their home games in the Northern Hemisphere, and will play England at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium and Scotland at Murrayfield.

The new biannual tournament starts later this year, with Wales taking on Fiji, Argentina and South Africa in the summer, followed by games against Japan, New Zealand and Australia in the autumn.

There will then be a finals weekend in London at the end of November.

Wales' three games in the autumn will be played at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, taking the place of the regular autumn internationals.

July's matches are replacing the traditional summer tour matches.
