Northern Kentucky men’s soccer player Alwin Komolong will continue his run with the Papua New Guinea (PNG) U-23 national squad playing in an Olympic Qualifier semi-final match and Pacific Games semi-final match. Komolong, the PNG team captain, has played every minute for his home country at the Pacific Games, which also serves as an Olympic qualifier for Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) member countries.
Papua New Guinea played Fiji on Friday in the OFC Olympic Qualifier. Following Friday’s Olympic Qualifier match, Komolong and the Papua New Guinea team then will return to Pacific Games action in a semi-final match against Tahiti set for July 15.
Komolong started all 20 games for the Norse in 2014, notching one assist throughout the season. He became a key figure in the central midfield, and was named a team captain despite being in his first year with the team.
