A five member steering committee has been formed to see that Labasa is given the opportunity to host a major soccer tournament this year.

The committee is headed by Labasa Town Council Administrator Vijay Chand, Council CEO Jitendra Prasad, two Fiji FA vice-president Dewan Chand, Sheik Ibrahim and Vodafone manager Arunesh Kumar.

The members met last week for the first time in which commitments were undertaken to uplift the condition of the ground, make provisions for extra seating capacity and improve toilet facilities and will brief the Fiji FA executives in their Board of Control meeting on Sunday.

Chand said the council won't be getting too much money out of it, but they need a major tournament to be hosted in the Northern division for it's people.
