Through many conversations between SASNOC and Government, the Samoa Games 2023 ignites years of dedication and sweat by our local sports people.

Linking the Samoa Games 2023 to the Official Closing of the Celebrations of Samoa’s 60 Years of Independecne, is a grand milestone for Samoa and Sports. 

Please Keep Samoa Clean.

I would like to acknowledge the contribution by sports to Samoa’s development of its people through social cohesion and inclusion.

Through the promotion of education and good health and the strive for excellence in personal aspirations. 

It goes without saying that the economic contribution by sport through sports tourism is a growing market space for Samoa with its wonderful sporting facilities and access for many countries to visit our shores.”

Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, it gives great pleasure to now officially open the SAMOA GAMES 2023!
