The Labasa soccer team won't take the field in the National soccer league competition until their 5 key players are released from the National soccer squad.

Pita Bolatoga, Roy Krishna, Maciu Dunadamu, Thomas Vulivuli and Shamal Kumar were named in the 24-man squad preparing for the Pacific Games and coach Carlos Buzetti has clearly stated that he will not take any risk by releasing any player from the camp.

Labasa soccer president Avinesh Kumar said the match against Navua this weekend is crucial and they must win to qualify for the Super Six playoffs while Navua just needs a draw.

Kumar said they won't be able to do that without their top players.
