KHELVIN Civil Engineering Lautoka FC has reshuffled its squad ahead of the 2026 BiC Fiji FACT, making key changes as the Blues sharpen their preparations for the national tournament kicking off tomorrow at Subrail Park in Labasa.
In the latest squad adjustment, Christopher Moses, Moses Alemoh, and Muni Shivam Naidu have been omitted from the final 22-member team.
In their place, Abdul Sahil, Ilaitia Ralaselevu, and Ravuso Fou have earned selection, boosting depth and fresh options across the park.
Under the leadership of head coach Anginesh Prasad, Lautoka FC is expected to open its campaign with a strong focus on consistency and discipline as they face Navua in their first pool match.
The Blues will then meet Ba and Nadroga in what is shaping up to be a highly competitive pool stage.

The 22-man squad features a mix of seasoned campaigners and emerging talent, with players expected to step up in what is one of Fiji football’s most prestigious tournaments.
