Tokyo Olympic qualifiers

PNG U23 soccer team for Olympic qualifiers

The 20-man squad, who will contest the OFC Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Fiji from 21 September to 5 October, includes two players who were part of the senior men’s team to the Pacific Games in Felix Komolong and Gregory Togubai.

PNG will take a team of young players to the qualifier with a “win it” attitude, according to coach Percy Mataio.

“We have an inexperienced squad where most players are first timers in playing international matches. However, we expect the team to go and play good football and the results will look after themselves,” he said.
