The 2020 Vodafone Fiji FACT semi-finals are set to roll at Labasa’s Subrail Park today.
There were fears that the tournament may be postponed after heavy rain in Labasa on Wednesday, but all speculations were cancelled as there was sunshine from Thursday.
Fiji Football Association chief executive officer Mohammed Yusuf said the ground was expected to be in a much better shape today.
“We inspected the ground today (yesterday) and we have groundsmen working on it,” Yusuf said.
“It should be in a much better condition when the semi-finals begin.” Yusuf said a much better turnout was expected from today.
“Labasa is known to have played well with a lot of crowd support. They will have a lot of chances of winning if fans turn out in numbers to support them.”
The tournament started last week in Suva and Lautoka for the first round of group matches. After a week’s break the annual event moved to the North for a chance for football fans to watch some of their favourite players in action.
The first semi-final is expected to kick-off at 3pm today between Rewa and defending champion Nadi and the second semi-final kicks off at 5pm between Suva and Labasa.
