SP PNG Hunters will officially open the new National Football Stadium (NFS), previously known as the Lloyd Robson Oval in Port Moresby.
This first ever match will be on February 6, against the Penrith Panthers New South Wales Cup side leading up to the Intrust Super Cup 2016 season.
SP Hunters club says that the game against Panthers NSW Cup side will give the Moresby rugby league community the opportunity to view the facilities as well as see the 2016 team perform for the first time.
For the new players it will be their opportunity to impress coach Michael Marum under match conditions in an effort to make the squad for the Intrust Cup opener against South Logan Magpies.
PNG Rugby Football League acknowledges the Rugby League Legacy associated with the National Stadium and believes that it is only fitting that the Hunters officially open the stadium.
This is a one-off special event as the Hunters are still in negotiations in respect to their host venue for the 2016 season.
