The Fiji Football Association has confirmed that Labasa will host the 2026 BiC Fiji FACT following the signing of an agreement with the Labasa Town Council at Subrail Park.

The tournament is set to run group-stage fixtures from June 19 to 21, with the semifinals and final to be played the following weekend.

The official pool draw will take place this Saturday at the Fiji FA headquarters in Vatuwaqa.

Labasa continues to strengthen its reputation as a key football hub in Fiji, having recently staged the 2024 Fiji FACT and the 2025 Battle of the Giants, which marked the return of top-tier tournament action to Subrail Park after more than two decades.

Fiji FA chief executive officer Mohammed Yusuf said the organisation was pleased to bring another major event to the Northern Division, highlighting the region’s strong football culture and fan support.

Labasa Town Council Special Administrator Paul Jaduram also welcomed the announcement, noting that hosting the tournament would provide an economic lift for local businesses and the wider community while attracting fans from across the country.

The Fiji FACT is expected to further boost sports tourism and economic activity in Labasa during the tournament period.
