During the launch, Mr. Kapi Natto encouraged participation in futsal, describing it as a dynamic sport that improves playing skills. “Futsal is a very interesting game played indoors or outdoors where people can develop their playing skills,” he said. “Many prominent footballers around the world have come through futsal to reach where they are today.”
He highlighted that Futsal and Beach Soccer now join PNGFA’s roster of sanctioned competitions alongside the Premier Soccer League, Women’s Conference Soccer League, and National Youth Soccer League.
“This is a significant day for both the competition and PNGFA,” Mr. Kapi Natto added. “These teams represent the foundational members of the National Futsal League.”
PNGFA aims to ensure the growth of futsal across all regions, making it an accessible sport for aspiring footballers nationwide.
