Chand urges Labasa fans to stay patient

Labasa FC head coach Alvin Chand has appealed to supporters for patience and continued backing as the team navigates challenging periods in the Fiji FACT tournament. Chand acknowledged fan frustration but emphasized the team's resilience and history of performing under pressure.

"Don’t start judging the boys on just one match," Chand stated. "You know what the Labasa team is all about; they are built for these types of pressure situations." He recalled past tournaments where Labasa achieved success despite initial setbacks, including losses or draws.

The coach urged fans to maintain their belief and motivation for the players. "If you encourage them, a time will come when they’ll put smiles on your faces, and you’ll go back home smiling," he said, suggesting that their support will ultimately be rewarded.

Labasa is scheduled to face Ba in the semifinal this Saturday at Subrail Park. Live radio commentary of the match will be available on Radio Fiji 2.
