Papua New Guinea will cohost the World Cup, holding three group matches in New Guinea after spending 1.4 billion on stadium and facility upgrades.
“The investment that the government and capital city has put in will get 10 times more back when it comes to the promotion of our city, our country and our national sport of rugby league,” said PNG Minister for Sports, Justin Tkatchenko.
“We’ve created history here today and the stadiums will be packed at every game, probably more than here.We look forward to making this the best World Cup ever.”
