Enga to host second Provincial Peace & Unity Games

Enga will stage the second edition of its Provincial Peace and Unity Games, scheduled from 11-13 September 2026, at Wabag town.           

The provincial sporting event started last year. This will be its second year of running, with the organizing committee planning to make it an annual event. 

Under the theme “Bigger & Better”, the organizing committee are using sports as a tool to minimize law-and-order issues in the province. 

Enga’s six districts will participate in the three-day event, including Wabag, Wapenamanda, Kompiam-Ambum, Laiagam, Porgera, and Kandep. 

The athletes from the six districts will compete across seven codes, featuring rugby league 9s, rugby touch 7s, soccer, kickboxing, athletics, volleyball, and basketball. 

Over 500 athletes, comprising men and women, will converge in Enga’s capital to compete in the seven codes to fight for the top honors. 

Enga Provincial Sports Coordinator Jonah McKay said the preparations have been good, stating that he and his organizing committee are ready to host the games. 

Mr. McKay thanked Enga Governor Grand Chief Sir Peter Ipatas and the Provincial Administration under the leadership of Sandis Tsaka for their unwavering support. 

The coordinator and his hardworking team are looking forward to delivering another successful and peaceful provincial sporting event.
