The Bougainville Premier League is the top tier soccer league in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. It is organized by the Bougainville Football Federation, an affiliate of the Papua New Guinea Football Association. [1]

History

In January 2025, Regional Member Peter Tsiamalili and Justin Helele, President of the Bougainville Football Federation, announced the foundation of the Bougainville Premier League. [2] At that time, it was announced that the league would feature six teams, two each from the South, Central, and North districts. To accommodate the league, the federation would immediately establish mini stadiums in each of the regions. The federation planned for local businesses to turn the teams into franchises in hopes of stimulating economic activity and community engagement while building a strong foundation for soccer in the region.
