History

Lautoka Soccer Football Association was formed in 1934, under the leadership of John Bairagi.[1] In 1961, Lautoka became affiliated with the Fiji Football Association.

Lautoka has the record of highest goals scored in the Inter-District Championship (IDC) finals. Lautoka thumped Ba in the finals one year by 6–0 and by 7–0 another year and also beat Suva in one of the finals by 7–1. That record remains untouched till this day.

Lautoka is also the first team to win the IDC 3 years in a row. They have also qualified for the 2009–10 OFC Champions League by finishing on top of the Fiji National league table and also remaining undefeated.
