In this episode of 90 Plus Extra Time, we head to the city of Lae to uncover the rise of Lae City FC — Papua New Guinea’s modern football powerhouse and one of Oceania’s most consistent contenders.
We explore how Lae City went from a newly formed club in 2013 to dominating the PNG National Soccer League and taking on giants in the OFC Champions League. We dive into their local rivalry with Hekari United, their community-driven fanbase, and what makes them such a symbol of pride for football in the Pacific.
This is the story of ambition, resilience, and a club pushing PNG football onto the continental stage.
