RETURN TO PARADISE 🌺🇼🇸
Return to Inspire. Return to Invest. Return to Build.
The Return to Paradise Initiative is happening in Samoa from 17–24 August 2026, bringing together sport, culture, community and the Samoan diaspora with one shared purpose, to reconnect with home and create opportunities for the future!
A special fa’afetai tele lava to the incredible organisers and everyone working behind the scenes to bring this initiative to life. Your vision, dedication and commitment to Samoa are truly appreciated.
A special acknowledgement also to Eronny Mareko for his role in organising this initiative and for taking the time to connect and talanoa with our Tausala. We are grateful for the opportunity for her to hear more about the vision behind Return to Paradise and the importance of reconnecting our people, particularly the next generation, with Samoa. 🇼🇸
To our NRL Ambassadors, thank you for proudly representing Samoa and for inspiring the next generation through your actions both on and off the field. Your journeys remind our young people that they can dream big, honour where they come from and use their talents to make a difference.
To our viewers, this is your invitation to return.
Return to Paradise, to reconnect with home and culture.
Return to Inspire, to empower the next generation.
Return to Invest, to support our people and communities.
Return to Build, to create opportunities for a stronger future.
Let’s continue to share the beauty, culture, talent and potential of Samoa with the world.
Samoa is more than a destination. Samoa is HOME 🇼🇸❤️
