As the new sports season approaches, teams under the Lae Football Association (LFA) banner are intensifying their preparations with a strong focus on precision. Alex Toki, General Secretary and Games Coordinator for the LFA said it is important to complete thorough preparation plans for clubs such as Barra FC, Airco Owens, Pascal, and City United. According to Toki, ensuring precision in these preparations is essential for a successful season. “It’s important for teams to focus on precision as we prepare for the upcoming season. I’m supporting all teams during this period, helping them get ready for what lies ahead,” Toki said. He also mentioned that some players from clubs like Pascal and City United have already caught the eye of UNPL teams, which could be a sign of growing talent in the region. Toki confirmed that he would be playing for both Airco Owens and Barra FC this season, and both teams are expected to participate in the Women’s Conference League. Following his recent participation in the Paralympics, Toki believes his experience will help him evaluate players’ skills during the early season games. Looking ahead, Toki is optimistic about the season, especially with the League’s Grand Final approaching this Sunday. “We’re expecting a good turnout at the games. Everything should run smoothly, and I believe the finals will be peaceful and well-organized,” he said. After the finals, there will be a small prize-giving ceremony to recognize the efforts of the teams. While the prizes may be modest, Toki says it’s important to acknowledge the hard work and precision shown by the players. “We congratulate all the teams – Barra, Airco Owens, Pascal, and City United – for their dedication. Once the finals are over, we’ll sit down, review everything, and get ready for the second week of May when the season will officially begin,” he added.
