BABASIGA LIONS ROAR INTO TITLE DEFENCE

Defending champions Extra Supermarket Labasa FC enter the 2026 BIC Fiji FACT carrying the hopes of the North and the confidence that comes with being the team to beat.

After capturing their fifth Fiji FACT title in 2025, the Babasiga Lions return to Subrail Park determined to successfully defend their crown in front of their passionate home supporters.

Labasa's success has always been built on the unwavering support of the famous Babasiga faithful, whose presence transforms every match into a sea of red. As tournament hosts, the Lions will once again enjoy strong home support as they chase another memorable Fiji FACT campaign.

Under the guidance of Head Coach Alvin Chand, Labasa has assembled a squad that blends experience, youth, and international quality.

The defending champions have strengthened significantly with the signing of Papua New Guinea internationals Rex Naime and Joseph Joe from Hekari United FC, adding valuable international experience and attacking firepower.

The return of former Ba midfielder Ilaisa Nayasi and the acquisition of experienced former Suva and Ba defender Samuela Navoce further strengthen an already talented squad.

In goal, Labasa will rely on the experienced trio of Simione Tamanisau, Jitoko Vulava, and Joji Vuakaca.

The defensive unit features Iliesa Lino, Simione Ragoneturaga, Iowance Matanisiga, Gerard Avock, Melvin Mani, Lekima Gonerau, Ryan David, and Samuela Navoce. The midfield will be marshalled by Jone Lalagavesi, Ilaisa Nayasi, Ashnil Raju, Navitesh Kumar, Akemi Ralulu, Dan Steiner, and Taniela Waqa, while the attacking department boasts exciting talents including Christopher Wasasala, Jovesa Uqe, Rex Naime, and Joseph Joe.

Few districts can match Labasa's proud Fiji FACT record. The Babasiga Lions have won the prestigious competition five times: 1992, 1997 (joint winners with Ba), 1999, 2015, and 2025.

They have also finished runners-up on a record nine occasions, highlighting their consistency and status as one of Fiji's football traditional powerhouses.

Labasa opens its title defence with a blockbuster clash against Glamada Suva FC on Friday, June 19 at 7.30pm, before facing Navua FC on Saturday, June 20 at 6.00pm.

The final group match sees the Babasiga Lions take on traditional rivals Rewa FC on Sunday, June 21 at 3.00pm in what promises to be one of the standout fixtures of the tournament.

With home advantage, a strengthened squad, international reinforcements, and the backing of the Northern faithful, Extra Supermarket Labasa FC enters the 2026 BIC Fiji FACT determined to defend its title and add a sixth crown to its impressive roll of honour.

Babasiga Lions Roar Through History

Extra Supermarket Labasa FC’s name is deeply woven into the history of the Fiji FACT competition, with the Babasiga Lions standing as one of the tournament’s most passionate and successful teams.

With five Fiji FACT titles and nine runner-up finishes, Labasa has built a proud legacy fuelled by strong northern support, flair football, and unforgettable tournament moments.

The northern giants first tasted Fiji FACT glory in 1992 when they won the title on home soil, defeating Nadroga 1-0 in front of a massive crowd at Subrail Park. That victory remains one of the proudest moments in Labasa football history and marked the last time the district won the tournament at home.

Labasa added another memorable chapter in 1997 when they were declared joint winners with Ba after the final ended scoreless. Two years later, the Babasiga Lions secured another title in 1999 with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Lautoka.

The team waited 16 years before reclaiming the title in 2015, defeating Rewa 2-0 in Nadi to end a long drought and reignite celebrations across the North.

Labasa again proved their tournament strength in 2025 when they defeated Rewa in a dramatic final at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva. The encounter ended 1-1 after full-time and remained scoreless in extra-time before the Babasiga Lions prevailed 3-1 in the penalty shootout to seal a 4-2 overall victory.

Apart from their five titles, Labasa has also endured heartbreak in several Fiji FACT finals, finishing runner-up on numerous occasions against teams such as Ba, Suva, Rewa and Nadroga.

Despite those setbacks, the northern side remains one of the most feared tournament teams in Fiji football history because of its loyal fan base, fighting spirit and ability to rise during major competitions.

Labasa’s consistency over the years has seen the side feature prominently in Fiji FACT campaigns while producing many national stars and memorable performances.
