Congratulations to Justine Samu, the ONOC Equity Commission’s Active Champion for Equity (ACE) 2026.

As CEO of Justine has spent years expanding access to sport through grassroots development, coach and umpire education, and a sustained commitment to safe sport and safeguarding.

Her work has created real pathways for women, girls, and under-represented communities across Samoa, and her influence extends well beyond the court.

On this International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, ONOC is proud to recognise the leaders shaping sport’s role in building stronger communities. 🌏

Did you know? 🇼🇸

For the past two years, Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) has been a vital partner to SMADA – and their support is helping put Samoa on the map as a capable host for international sport.

Earlier this year, we received 40 sample collection kits from SIA.
These aren't just numbers – they are what allow us to conduct proper doping control when Samoa hosts regional and international competitions sanctioned by International Sporting Federations.

Take the recent Oceania Wrestling Championship held here in Samoa – thanks to this equipment, SMADA was able to carry out doping control, ensuring the event met international integrity standards.

Without this support, meeting our obligations would be a major challenge.
Thanks to SIA, our National Sporting Bodies can confidently host events like these – proving that Samoa has the ability and capacity to deliver world-class, clean sport competitions on home soil.

🇼🇸🤝🇦🇺 Thank you, Sport Integrity Australia, for strengthening clean sport in Samoa.

SAT $700,000 Naming Rights Partnership Officially Launched for Samoa IBFC Universal Weightlifting Cup 2026

Prime Minister Launches SAT $700,000 Government-Backed IBFC Sponsorship for Historic 2026 Universal Weightlifting Cup

APIA, SAMOA – March 26, 2026: The Samoa Weightlifting Federation (SWF) today announced a landmark partnership for the upcoming 2026 Universal Weightlifting Cup, confirming IBFC as the official naming rights sponsor. This milestone is supported by a $700,000 SAT investment from the Government of Samoa.

The event, which will host 70 nations, 500 athletes, and 200 officials, marks a historic first for the Pacific region. The tournament will be staged at the Oceania Weightlifting Institute in Tuanaimato.
Delivering the keynote address at this morning’s official launch, Prime Minister Hon. La’aulialemalietoa Leuatea Polataivao Fosi Schmidt underscored the national significance of the tournament.

“It is a privilege to launch our naming rights partnership for the IBFC Universal Cup 2026,” the Prime Minister stated. “This is a moment of immense national pride and a premier opportunity to showcase Samoa’s hosting capabilities to an international audience.”
The government’s $700,000 SAT contribution, facilitated through the Samoa International Finance Authority (SIFA) and IBFC, reflects a strategic commitment to sports development and international events that enhance Samoa’s global profile.

The Prime Minister further commended the SWF for its leadership: “I wish to acknowledge the tireless efforts of SWF President Tuaopepe Asiata Jerry Wallwork in securing these hosting rights. To our athletes: you are the ambassadors of our nation, representing the spirit and strength of Samoa.”
President Tuaopepe Asiata Jerry Wallwork characterized the announcement as a "pioneering milestone" for the region.
“It is with deep gratitude and pride that I stand here today on this historic occasion,” Tuaopepe said. “This sponsorship ensures that Samoa will deliver a world-class event that resonates across the Pacific and beyond.”
