That will affectively see the Lae Academy get a much needed upgrade, plus the futsal court and floodlight project getting under way.

Chung, pictured, who is on the way back from a FIFA executives meeting, is heading to Auckland, New Zealand, to meet all stakeholders of the home Oceania soccer to kick-start the November earth moving works.

He said in an email in November he would bring the FIFA director development to Bougainville to get a briefing on building a technical training centre under the less privileged programme of FIFA funding.

Chung said he would meet Minister for National Planning and Alotau MP Charles Abel to discuss a futsal stadium for Alotau and facilities that in future could bid for a FIFA futsal tournament.

He said that discussions would include the elite academy programmes and Kimbe’s second phase project, which included accommodation, gym and office space.

“These are my projects for the PNGFA,” Chung said. He said the profile of the PNGFA was growing like never before with several companies backing the game.
