The Village World Cup brings teams from the villages, men, women, and youth players together to celebrate this historic achievement with our own unique style of cricket. Our teams are ready to embrace the colours of their adopted countries and at the same time always back the Barras!
Head Coach Carl Sandri knows the Kumul Petroleum PNG Barramundis can feel the excitement building for the World Cup from back home “The team knows from talking to their families and social media that there is so much support at home. Having the Village World Cup leading up to when we play our first game against Oman on Sunday night, just takes it to another level. Enjoy the Village World Cup and thank you for backing the Barras! We will make PNG proud.”
