AS Venus

Lae City FC Set For Today’s Clash

Lae City FC plays its second match against AS Venus of Tahiti today (Sunday 07th August 2022) at 1pm.

AS Venus currently leads the Group A pool with 1 win so far.

Lae City FC has 1 draw from their first match and has to win this second match in order to stay in the competition.

Head Coach Bob Morris is happy with his pack so far, and has realigned them from Game 1.

So far, lead up training in Auckland has been favourable with the team having enough time to acclimatise and have a good feel of the international standard synthetic soccer pitches.

Madang, Lautoka to open Pool C matches

Madang FC, Lautoka FC, AS Venus and defending champions Auckland City FC make up the pool.

The opening match will be between Madang FC and Fiji’s Lautoka FC at 1pm (10am PNG time) this Sunday.

Following this AS Venus from Tahiti takes on the home side Auckland City FC starting at 4pm.

The format is the same with the top two teams to advance on to the quarter-finals.

PNG’s other team in the Champions League, Lae City Dwellers FC, made history last Friday by becoming the second team from PNG to advance past the pool matches after finishing second in Pool A.
