THE national women’s soccer training squad has been blessed with
the weeklong visit of Oceania Football Confederation’s development
officer responsible for women’s development and former Australian
player Connie Selby.
Selby’s visit should be a bolster to our national team’s
preparations for the coming Pacific games in Apia, Samoa next
month.
Selby is in the country to run a week-long junior and youth
licence coaching course attracting more than 20 women participants
from the Port Moresby Soccer Association, Gerehu Country soccer
association, Port Moresby school soccer and School Secondary
Teachers association.
The course is a follow up from last year’s which Selby also
facilitated.
Selby had been in Fiji running similar courses.
Her next port of call will be the Solomon Islands.
Selby’s visit has been utilised by the Papua New Guinea Football
Association to also have sessions with the national team who are
currently in camp in the nation’s capital under coach Francis
Moyap.
The national women’s under Moyap have a task to successful defend
the gold they won in Fiji four years ago.
