Toa Samoa and Fetu Samoa World Cup Squads Announced
Apia, SAMOA – 6 October 2026 – Fetu Samoa players arrived early this morning with the Toa Samoa due to arrive in time for the farewell and sending-off parade at 1000 tomorrow morning. The players were welcomed at the airport by Rugby League Samoa officials, supporters and families as excitement builds up for the World Cup later this month.
The sendoff parade will be led by the Police Band from the Fire & Emergency Services car park to the Government Building where the Flag Raising ceremony and official services will be staged.
The Prime Minister will deliver the keynote address with responses from League Samoa and Captains of the two teams.
There is high expectations for the Toa Samoa after its landmark 2022 final run that transformed a global fan base and boosted support for the code.
