Basketball federation to hold AGM

THE Basketball Federation of Papua New Guinea (BFPNG) will host its elective annual general meeting (AGM) at Sir John Guise Stadium Indoor Complex in Port Moresby on Saturday.
BFPNG executive officer Nick Daroa said in a statement that the AGM would also cover the status of basketball activities as well as selections and preparations for international tournaments.
“The two main reasons for this meeting is for the election of executives to assume the board positions,” he said.
“And a number of championships, tournaments and activities that have been stalled due to the Covid-19 pandemic are now allowed to proceed with approval given to basketball.
“Hence, we have the obligation of hosting the national senior and junior championships.
“The events held to select our training squads/final rosters for the Melanesian Cup in Suva, Fiji (Pacific Games qualifier), Under-17 Oceania Championships, Mini Pacific Games, Asia Championship (three-on-three), development teams to Arafura Games and the junior skills challenge.
“Currently, we have the Port Moresby Basketball Association, Lae, Gerehu, Kerema and PNG Men’s Basketball League fully affiliated and are expected to attend.
“There are Associations like Mt Hagen, Epare Koaru and others that have indicated affiliating this week.”
BFPNG has also called on associations to forward the names of representatives who will attend the AGM or provide an email address for a Zoom teleconferencing link.
