history
There had been a regional football competition in Labasa since 1938. Participants were various clubs from different ethnic groups from Labasa. When the National Football Association was founded in 1938, Labasa was not a founding member because the city was too far from the central island of Viti Levu . It was not until 1942, under President Harold B. Gibson , that the Labasa Soccer Association became a member of the Fiji Football Association , the Fiji Indian Football Association .
Labasa initially remained on the fringes of Fiji's football development. They played various games against other teams from Viti Levu until the 1969 Inter-District Championship (IDC) took place in Labasa. Football quickly became popular in Labasa and in 1972, 1973 and 1978 the team ranked second in the IDC . In 1992 the first title was won in the IDC , which could be repeated in 1994, 2011 and 2016. Also in the National Football League you could win the title in 1991 and 2007.
