PoM AFL winding down season

The Jaki-sponsored Port Moresby Australian Football League (Aussie Rules) has five more rounds remaining before heading to the playoffs.

The competition concluded Round 17 on Saturday, 5 September 2026, following exciting matches across the men’s and women’s divisions at Colts Oval.

Competition Manager Rex Leka said the 2026 season has been good, mentioning that the executives anticipate completing the regular season and hosting the finals.

“The Jaki PoM AFL has completed its game 17. We’ve got five more rounds in both the men’s and women’s divisions before the finals,” Leka explained.

Leka said the inclusion of the Defence Lions and Taurama Suns after almost a decade has created opportunities for players.

“Taurama Suns have rejoined the competition after 10 years, while Defence have come again after almost 15 years,” he stated.

“The return of the two military teams to the competition has been really good, which creates opportunities for players who don't have clubs to join them.”

He added that the season has progressed well, with teams in both divisions showing improvement and competing fiercely to secure their spots in the finals.

“It’s a new whole type of game. It’s faster with a lot of speed. It has improved and changed the game's system. At the back end of the season, we should have a good final,” he said.
