Labasa is representing Fiji at the League in Papua New Guinea.
Today Fiji Football Association handed a $10,000 cheque to Labasa FA President Rayaz Khan to help the side prepare for the meet.
Yesterday it was agreed at the Fiji FA Council meeting to assist Labasa women with $10,000.
Most of the Labasa players are national reps which means they have had exposure playing at an international level and will add a much-needed boost to the team.

Yusuf adds they’re confident Labasa will make the nation proud in PNG.
