2019 Pacific Games Update

The 31 July deadline has passed for expressions of interest to be received from Pacific Games Associations wishing to host the 2019 Pacific Games.

The Pacific Games Council (PGC) can confirm the following PGAs have lodged expressions of interest:

• Guam
• Samoa
• Tahiti (Polynésie Française)

The PGC is delighted with this response and thanks the three PGAs for stepping forward with their intention to host the 2019 Pacific Games and delivering a strong vote of confidence in the importance of the Games and the benefits of hosting them.

The three expressions of interest contain varying levels of detail as well as varying levels of financial commitments from their respective governments. As such, the PGC Executive Board will fully assess the expression of interest documents, conduct site visits where appropriate, before recommending an alternative host by the end of August or early September.
