Team PNG HERO athlete Gantianna Joseph is proudly representing Papua New Guinea at the 66th International Session for Young Olympic Ambassadors, hosted by the International Olympic Academy in Greece.

Since 1961, the Young Olympic Ambassadors Session has brought together young leaders aged 20–30 from across the world, creating opportunities for friendship, cooperation, and intercultural dialogue through the shared values of Olympism.

Over two weeks, participants engage in lectures by leading academics and Olympic experts, working group discussions, cultural visits, sport and arts activities, and exchanges with Olympians. Together, they explore how the Olympic Movement can continue to inspire positive change in communities around the world.

This year's special topic, "Championing Inclusion, Integrity and Responsibility: Building a Safe and Fair Future for Every Athlete," challenges participants to examine how sport can create environments where every athlete is respected, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.

As a HERO athlete, Gantianna joins young ambassadors from around the globe in sharing experiences, building lifelong connections, and strengthening her understanding of Olympic values and leadership.

We are proud to see Gantianna representing Papua New Guinea and look forward to the knowledge, experiences, and inspiration she will bring home to help empower others through sport.

Congratulations to the PNG Boxing Union and their athletes for not only competing in the 2026 Kokoda Cup Challenge, but also reclaiming the Kokoda Cup title for 2026. This achievement reflects the team’s discipline, resilience, and commitment to honouring the Kokoda spirit — a legacy of courage, endurance, comradery, and sacrifice.

This year’s Kokoda Cup Challenge welcomed teams from New South Wales and Queensland, who travelled to Papua New Guinea to participate in this important annual event. Their involvement elevated the level of competition and strengthened the sporting ties shared across the region.

The Kokoda Cup Challenge remains one of PNG’s most significant boxing fixtures, providing a platform for emerging and elite boxers to test their skills, showcase national pride, and uphold the historical connection to the Kokoda Track. Reclaiming the title reinforces PNG Boxing’s upward trajectory and the depth of talent within the national program.

Kicks 4 Kokoda wrapped up its final tournament day at Kokoda Primary School on 29 May 2026 with a celebration of football, learning, and community spirit.

Students gathered under the warm Kokoda sun as teams representing Honesty, Excellence, Respect, and Openness announced their arrival with powerful war cries, marching onto the field to welcome the K4K team and HERO athletes. Teachers and Skillz Coaches kept the atmosphere lively throughout the day with music, dancing, and encouragement from the sidelines.

Beyond the football field, students visited educational booths promoting important community messages. At the Oro Consultative Implementation and Monitoring Council (CIMC) booth, children learnt about their rights, the laws that protect them, and where they can seek help when treated unfairly. Mr Humphry Bainda, Vice Chair of the Oro People With Disability Organisation (OPD), also shared his experiences and perspectives, helping students better understand how Persons With Disability can be respected, supported, and included in everyday life.

While younger children enjoyed mini-games facilitated by the PNG Football Association's Just Play Team, older students competed in an exciting football tournament. Team Excellence emerged as champions, with Respect finishing runners-up, while Openness defeated Honesty to claim third place. Across all matches, students displayed impressive skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship in the true spirit of football.

The day concluded with an awards ceremony, where the K4K team reinforced the Team PNG HERO values of Honesty, Excellence, Respect, and Openness, encouraging students to carry these values into their daily lives and communities.

A big thank you to Kokoda Primary School and the Kokoda community for their warm hospitality and for embracing the program with such enthusiasm and community pride. We also acknowledge our partners , , and the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the for their continued support in building and empowering communities through the power of sport.

Kicks 4 Kokoda visited Kebara Primary School on Thursday, 28 May 2026, where students, teachers, and the wider community turned out in full spirit for a memorable day of football, teamwork, and learning.

From the very beginning, the atmosphere at Kebara was vibrant as students representing the four Team PNG values — Honesty, Excellence, Respect, and Openness — proudly introduced themselves with energetic and creative kilos. As part of “Skillz Culture,” a kilo is a fun and expressive way for teams to praise and encourage one another, and the students of Kebara Primary School embraced it wholeheartedly. What stood out most throughout the day was the sportsmanship shown by the children, with teams cheering not only for their own players but also for their opponents, even in defeat. It was inspiring to see young students supporting and uplifting one another regardless of the results on the field.

Alongside the football tournament, community members and participating teams visited the KTF health booth and a stall hosted by the Oro Organisation of People With Disability (OPD), where children learnt the importance of treating People With Disability with dignity, respect, and inclusion. The day also featured two friendly matches between the K4K HERO athletes and a combined side of teachers, Skillz coaches, and parents, adding even more excitement to the event.

On the field, Team Openness defeated Excellence in the grand final. More importantly, the tournament gave children the opportunity to practice the Team PNG values of Honesty, Excellence, Respect, and Openness through a full day of teamwork, competition, and community spirit.

Kicks 4 Kokoda thanks Kebara Primary School and its community for their warm hospitality and for making the day truly memorable. Special thanks also go to , , the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the , and the PNG Football Association Just Play Team for their continued support in helping deliver the Kicks 4 Kokoda program, building communities and empowering youth through the power of sport.
