“This partnership highlights rugby league’s unique place in PNG society — as a sport, a unifying force, and a pathway for young people,” Tsaka said. “Visa’s values align with ours, and together we will inspire a better future for the game and for the country.”
Visa’s Country Manager for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, Anthony Watson, said the company was proud to support the Kumuls, calling it a commitment to PNG’s future. “Rugby league brings communities together, and with digital technology advancing, Visa is excited to help unlock new opportunities for inclusion and progress,” he said.
The partnership will see the Visa logo featured on the Kumuls’ jersey and training gear. PNGRFL confirmed that Visa will join the national team’s campaign for the Pacific Bowl Championships and the Rugby League World Cup in 2026, co-hosted by Australia and Papua New Guinea.
