PNG Hekari FC moved a step closer to a second OFC Pro League campaign after OFC announced approval of licence applications from all eight inaugural clubs. The Executive Committee made the decision during its meeting in Fiji.
The approval was a stage in the process, rather than final confirmation of participation. OFC said clubs still needed to complete additional participation requirements before the 2027 season.
The announcement emphasised the governance, organisational structures and professional standards expected of participating clubs. Season dates and host venues had not been announced in that report.
