The Lautoka soccer team will be aiming to win the Vodafone Fiji FACT title after 16 years.

The Sugar City side had beaten Nasinu 3-2 in 2002 on penalty kicks while the last time they played in a Fiji FACT final was in 2009 where they lost to Navua.

The Kamal Swamy coached side has the services of top players like Benjamin Totori, Zibraaz Sahib, Kavaia Rawaqa, Kolinio Sivoki and Benamino Mateinaqara.

Lautoka will need to overcome defending champions Rewa this Sunday to book their spot in the final.

Labasa will play Nadi in the first semi final of the Vodafone Fiji FACT at 1pm while the defending champions Rewa will face Lautoka at 3pm this Sunday in the second semi final at Churchill Park.

You can catch the live commentaries of both the semi finals on our sister station, Radio Sargam.

The final will be played at a time and a venue which are yet to be confirmed.
