Gunemba and Dabinyaba heading to face former club as they wait PNGFA clearance

Hekari United is working to get cleared the two Papua New Guinean internationals they recently signed for the second round of PNG National Soccer League. Raymond Gunemba and Nigel Dabinyaba are involved in a never-ending sitution about their transfer to Hekari United. According to Lae City’s chairman, both players were not released according to PNG National Soccer League transfer rules and are unable to join Hekari until further notice. This forced both players to not feature in the recent match of Hekari against Bougainville.

The next weekend match for both players might be very special: Hekari United is sheduled to play against Lae City, their former club – a match that will be one of the most interesting football clashes from the last years in the country.

Hekari United fans can have high expecations on the availabilty of Gunemba and Dabinyaba for the match. Raymond Gunemba confirmed to Oceania Football Center his team already got in touch with PhNGFA requesting their release: “yes, everything is fixed. We are just waiting the letter from PNGFA to be cleared to play,” stated Gunemba.

Certainly, it will be very interesting to see how both players perform against their former club in the next weekend. Both Lae and Hekari are tied at the top of national league table with 26 points – this will be a crucial match as the two teams are strong contenders for the title.
