Simbu Angra FC, sometimes spelled Chimbu Angra FC, is a semi-professional association football club based in Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea. The club was founded in 2019.[1]

The club took part in the 2019 edition of the Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, finishing bottom of the Highlands Conference.[2]

History

[edit]

The team was announced as competing in the 2019 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League in January 2019, with the side consisting of players from Madang, Morobe and Chimbu provinces.[1] Before the season kicked off, the only players with previous NSL experience were captain Murphy Yomi, vice-captain Cornelius Aris, Isaac Lalo and Dennis Gira.[1]

The side started the season strongly, losing just one of their five games in the first half of the season – after three straight draws, they lost 6–2 to Kagua-Erave, before a Nalon Nalon penalty saw them edge past Aporo Mai 1–0.[3] At the halfway stage, the teams sat fourth in the conference table.[2] The second half of the season was poor, though, with the side losing all five of their matches, including a 10–4 defeat against Blue Kumuls.[4] The team therefore finished sixth out of six teams in the regional conference.[2]
