“We are very happy with the response from the Labasa town council. We acknowledge the assistance provided by the special administrator for going out of his way in ensuring the Park will be ready for these games. We are ready for the tournament in Labasa especially for the Northern fans to watch.”   

Yusuf says with the logistics sorted, they will also strictly enforce all COVID-19 precautionary measures.

“Everybody entering the ground will be sanitized. The CareFiji App is a must, people with smartphones need to have the app, if not they will not be allowed entry. But we’ll also have wifi’s available at the gate for people to download at the same time before they can enter the ground.”

The second round of group matches commences tomorrow, starting with Active Construction Navua facing Bluez Fan Club (Australia) Lautoka at 12pm.

At 2pm, Online I.T Solutions Ba battles Foodcity/ASH Cuts & Styles Rewa while Vinz Workz Suva meets Esy Kool Nadi at 4pm.
