Papua New Guinea team to join Australian competition

^{Published on 2024-12-11 22:25:23 - Shropshire Star}

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his counterpart James Marape announced the 'world first sports diplomacy deal'.

The article from Shropshire Star discusses the inclusion of a Papua New Guinea team in the Australian National Rugby League (NRL) competition. This historic decision marks the first time a team from outside Australia or New Zealand will participate in the NRL, aiming to expand the sport's reach and promote rugby league in the Pacific region. The team, known as the PNG Hunters, will join the competition in 2025, following a successful bid supported by the PNG government and local rugby league enthusiasts. This move is seen as a significant step towards fostering rugby league talent in Papua New Guinea, providing local players with a platform to showcase their skills on an international stage, and enhancing cultural exchange between Australia and Papua New Guinea. The inclusion is also expected to boost tourism and economic development in the region.
