Team PNG’s participation in the two major sporting events this year, being the Northern Marianas Mini Pacific Games in Saipan from June 17the -25th and the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games from the 28th of July to the 8th of August 2022, have received timely financial support totalling K150, 000 from SP Brewery Limited.
This annual commitment is part of the brewery’s three-year sponsorship to the PNGOC. PNGOC President Sir John Dawanincura thanked the Board and Management of SPB for the timely presentation as the PNGOC progresses on its preparedness for Team PNG’s back-to-back participation in two major international multi-sport events this year.
“We are grateful to the SPB Executive Board and Management for this presentation and appreciate that it was thoughtfully done well in advance before the two Teams are farewell to the Games in June and July respectively”,
“I also acknowledged the Company’s continued support to PNGOC and Team PNG over the last two years despite the challenges, especially added challenges to doing businesses due to the global pandemic”. Sir John said
SPB has a strong and long-term relationship with the PNGOC dating back as far as the early 1980s. The company has supported sports through other marquee events such as the SP Sports Awards, since 1992, in partnership with the PNGOC and PNG Sports Foundation.
SPB Managing Director Ed Weggemans stated “Even though we are dealing with trade restrictions and loss of business, SPB is proud to continue our support to Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee for another year.”
