Yeah like YH says I think only Fiji now could go close to sustaining a 2nd team.
Probably the biggest OFC economy outside NZ, and from memory they had the most initial bids apart from NZ.
Lautoka is also not that much smaller than Suva, so sort of a logical place to base a 2nd team.
In 2028 the new PNG Chiefs team will enter the NRL. It's a multi million dollar project.
$600M over 10 years from the Aus Govt!!
It's going to soak up all the corporate dollars, and sports media coverage in PNG.
So hard to see a 2nd OFC Pro League club happening in New Guinea.
A 2nd Aussie club also an option. Darwin has close ties to PNG.
The Sunshine Coast club in QLD bid to enter the OFC League, and just hosted the Roar v Jets on the weekend with a big crowd.
