Pohnpei Premier League is the top flight football league in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia, established in 2009.[3] [4]
In 2009, English journalist Paul Watson and his friend Matthew Conrad established the Pohnpei Premier League, which had its first season from October to December of that year.[5] [6]
During that season, there were five clubs, including the Pitbulls, the SDA, International FC, C.O.M.-FSM FC, and the Island Warriors. The Island Pitbulls competed in shirts donated by English side Yeovil Town, and originated from the College of Micronesia and church groups.[7] The Pitbulls won both the pre-season Liberation Games, as well as the final "showdown" match of the league against SDA, with a score of 5–2.
The best players from the league were then offered the chance to train to be in the Pohnpei national team.[8] In October 2010, Pohnpei won its first football victory in history against a second division club team in Guam.
