NSL chairman Isaac Lupari announced the decision this week and says it is important for the board to provide all clubs, the PNGFA and major sponsor Telikom PNG Limited with current financial information.
“We are doing this as part of our efforts to promote good governance and accountability, and I think it will be the first in any sporting code in the country,” Lupari says.
“The National Soccer League is largely funded by sponsorships from the private sector as well as the franchises, and therefore it is imperative that financial reports are provided to them on a monthly basis.”
Lupari says he is grateful to the NSL Board of Directors for their support and recognition of the importance of good governance.
“We owe our sponsors, clubs and our supporters and they must know every month where the money is coming from, and where it is being spent.
“Many sports organisations in the country talk about accountability and good governance, but they do not practice it. The National Soccer League is paving the way and I hope other sports administrators will follow us by doing the same.”
Lupari adds that the NSL is planning to develop its own website, and through it intends to provide all adequate information from schedules to training programmes, and including financial performance.
“This is important for the NSL if we are to attract sponsorship and support for the growth of the league in the country. We must conduct ourselves in a transparent way and ensure that we share all our information with our sponsors, clubs and our supporters,” Lupari concludes.
