Footy fans in Port Moresby won’t have to wait much longer for the 2024 AFL Season to kick off because it’s all set for this weekend. The President of the Port Moresby AFL (POMAFL) Association, Mr. Douglas Lai has confirmed with PNG Hausbung that the MoniPlus 2024 Port Moresby AFL Season is scheduled to commence tomorrow, Saturday 06th April 2024. “The Port Moresby AFL Season is starting with the Lightning 12 A Side tomorrow at the Colts Oval,” President Lai said. “This is the preseason and will run full day tomorrow with the round robin format, with the grand final to be played in the afternoon.” In terms of sponsorship, Mr. Lai said POMAFL is pleased to have MoniPlus continue the support as sponsors again of the AFL Season. The preseason was supposed to start two weeks ago, but due to some major maintenance work that had to be carried out on the pitch, the season opener was deferred to this weekend. However, the 2024 season will see the competition run without one club participating- the Gordons Kokofas. The club was suspended for an indefinite period by the Port Moresby AFL Association for its involvement in the on field brawl during the grand final match last year between the Kokofas and the Gereka Bombers.
