PNG Football Association was unable to contact David Browne to call him up for Kapuls’ friendly matches

The PNG Football Association has encountered a major challenge in their efforts to reach out to David Browne, the country’s most prominent football figure. Despite being a former player for Auckland City FC and HJK Helsinki, Browne has exhibited a lack of responsiveness towards the Kapuls staff as they prepared for crucial international friendly matches against Singapore and Malaysia. Unfortunately, these matches didn’t fare well for Papua New Guinea, with the team suffering a record defeat of 10-0 against Malaysia.

Browne, who is currently a free agent, appears to have lost interest in representing his country. Despite being included in the provisional squad announced by the association, he did not make himself available for selection, nor did he respond to the calls made by the Kapuls staff. This decision has left many wondering about Browne’s commitment to continuing his international career with Papua New Guinea – or a choice made due the bad situation of the governing body in the country.

Given Browne’s stature as the country’s most high-profile footballer, his absence has been deeply felt. The Papua New Guinea Football Association had hoped that Browne’s experience and skills would contribute significantly to the team’s performance. However, with only three official matches played for the Kapuls, it appears that his dedication to representing his country has waned.

The inability to establish contact with Browne has raised concerns about the reasons behind his disinterest in national team duties. The PNG Football Association has been left in a difficult position, grappling with the absence of their most prominent player and the challenges it poses to their preparation and performance on the international stage.

For a long period Browne did not come to represent Papua New Guinea; first passport issues were raised as a response for his absence. Now, the PNG Football Association had included the winger in the provisional squad. The entity members were not sucesfull in reaching out the player; questions can be raised: is Browne interested to represent the Kapuls as the football in the country seems to be in darks days? How could the local federation be unable to establish minimal contact to its star player?
