With high spirits and confidence, the team is calling on their fans in the western division to come out in full support as they commence their campaign on Tuesday.

Their tournament journey kicks off with a match against Nadi on Tuesday at 3:30 PM, followed by a face-off with Lautoka FC on Wednesday at 6 PM, and they will conclude their group stage games with a match against Suva on Thursday at 2 PM.
The anticipation from fans is palpable, and they can enjoy live commentary of selected matches on Radio Fiji Two, enhancing the excitement surrounding the tournament. This event not only serves as a platform for showcasing the talent and competitive spirit of Fijian football but also fosters community engagement and pride. The growing enthusiasm around football in Fiji, evident from increased attendance and support during past tournaments, promises a bright future for sports tourism and local unity through football.
Labasa’s successes thus far have positioned them as a formidable force in the league and the upcoming championship, reflecting their resilience and drive as they aim to defend their title.
