So far lead up training in Auckland has been favorable with the team having enough time to acclimatize and have a good feel of the international standard synthetic soccer pitches.
OFC has made it possible for Lae City FC to train in two different venues so far with classed facilities so as to get the team gel into the actual field of play.
Former PNG international and New Zealand based Maurie Wasi now a local soccer coach in Auckland has come in to assist since the team arrived.
Wasi has given his support both on and off the field, getting the team prepared for training and game day. He has also been supportive in providing logistical support as well as accommodating other needs that the team requires.
