PNG U20 Women's Soccer

The STLOs have been an integral part of the security operations of the U-20 Women’s Tri-Nations tournament. The security operation involved three female officers seconded as security team liaison officers to each of the three teams, Japan, PNG and USA.

RPNGC chief inspector and U-20 Women’s Tri-Nations senior security liaison Sylvia Reu said the female officers donated 26 Puma sports bags to the PNG team last Saturday at the Bisini Oval after the girl’s training.

The 28 member train on squad is in intensive training camp at Goroka in Eastern Highlands Province as they prepare for the World Cup.

24 girls are attending Goroka Grammar School, a private school near their camp at the National Sports Institute (NSI) while four of them are working at Pacific Gardens Hotel.

For some it is a continuation of their schooling and for others it is a second chance at an education.

Coach Lisa Cole said this week that she was looking forward to working with the team to ensure they balanced their training and education.
