PAPUA New Guinea rugby sevens international Fatima Rama has been named in the train-on squad for Port Moresby City who will be competing in the upcoming Women’s National Soccer League.
Joining her in the Port Moresby Soccer Association (PMSA) side is experienced campaigner Rumona Morris.
PMSA president Joseph Ealedona said in a statement that the association was fielding two sides in the league with general team manager Gordon Manub announcing the train-on squads for City and Port Moresby City Academy.
“Port Moresby City is mostly made up of experienced PNG and PMSA representative players,” Ealedona said.
“Academy is made up of upcoming players and some veterans who will mentor the young footballers.
“Following two weeks of training, we’ve announced 21-man and 25-man squads for City and Academy respectively.”
