NCD Touch preparing for Grand Final

The National Capital District (NCD) Touch wrapped up its Major Semifinal games on Sunday, 16 August 2026, at Sir John Guise Stadium. 

Twelve clubs competed across five divisions, with two teams in each division qualifying for the grand final on Sunday, 23 August 2026, at Sir John Guise Stadium.    

Following five months of competitive games, with teams displaying their skills and competing fiercely on the field, ten grand finalists in five divisions are aiming for the top honors.  

NCD Touch President Nelson Kopunye thanked the teams for their participation this season and wished the qualifying teams good luck in the decider.

“The season has been good,” Kopunye said. 

“We say thank you to the teams that registered and participated in the NCD Touch competition this year, and wish good luck to the teams that advanced to the grand final.

“I want to thank the various business houses for registering the teams to take part in the competition this year. We appreciate their support.”

President Kopunye mentioned that the National Capital District Commission had pledged to release some funds, hoping that the metropolitan municipality would honor its commitment. 

Mr. Kopunye also expects other corporate houses, especially those that made commitments, to come on board to sponsor the grand finalists with prize money and trophies. 

The following are the grand final fixtures in the five divisions:  

• Parliament Vs NiuSky Pacific - Open Mix

• NiuSky Pacific Vs NCDC Falcons - Open Women’s

• Rascal Legends Vs BNBM - Open Men’s

• Parliament Vs NJSS - Senior Mix

Meanwhile, President Kopunye said the National Touch Championship will be hosted in Port Moresby in September, with NCD Touch executives planning to select the top players to participate in the tournament.
