PNGRFL ANNOUNCES 2025 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING TO BE HELD IN WABAG
Port Moresby, 02 March 2026: The Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League (PNGRFL) today announced that it will convene its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM), Saturday 28th March in Wabag, Enga Province.
This meeting will be the 11th AGM for the organization and will have an estimated 63 associate and affiliate leagues in attendance, all who have met requirements and are fully compliant in line with the PNGRFL’s set guidelines.
PNGRFL Chairman Sandis Tsaka said of the process:
“Our Community is our base and drives participation for our ever growing game. There has been much work to see more of a presence on the ground in terms of a return for the participation of our member leagues and having 63 members eligible this year is our biggest number since COVID and the elections halted our game.”
“We look forward to meeting and having this dialogue with our members at the end of the March, to highlight the progress and the impact of the work they continue to carry out in our leagues across the country, in keeping our game alive.”
The business to be transacted at the AGM, in line with Governance and the organization’s constitution will be the tabling of the Annual Report of the PNGRFL and Consideration of the Audited Financial Accounts.
Chief Executive Officer, Stanley Hondina commended the work of the PNGRFL’s Community Rugby League (CRL) in seeing the growth of leagues participation and capturing the interest through incentives and game development in the last year, “Our team have continued to work on reaching our people, playing our game across the country and it is no easy feat, but there has been much effort in the last 3 years. We continue to strive to see more people better themselves through our sport and this AGM is also a means of being better, highlighting and promoting good governance as PNGRFL are the custodians of the national sport.
