It will serve six districts, Salega 1, Salega 2, Palauli 1, Palauli 2, Palauli 3, and Satupa’itea giving many youth a chance to train and grow their talents. Leaders say the hub is not just about sports. It is also about keeping young people busy with good activities, helping them stay healthy, and guiding them toward a better future. It will also help find talented athletes who may represent their districts one day. This idea was a long time dream of the six Members of Parliament from these districts: • Leilua Sagato Karen Sosene • Tilafono David Hunter • Mulipola Anarosa Ale Molioo • Fiu Faaolatane Ponifasio Vasa • Asiata Tafe Salevao Leaoa • Aiolupotea Miss Tony Aiolupo Photo Credit: Sapatea Sports Hub The main message shared on the day was simple, we are stronger when we stand together. “E malosi pea tutū faatasi” According this said, many people believe this new sports hub will bring hope, unity, and better opportunities for young people in these communities.
