Tusbab Stallions F.C.

The club was established in 2019 as successor of an amateur club dating back to 2004 of the same name, which itself was founded after a merge between two separate Madang-based clubs, Tusbab and Blue Kumuls.[1] The amateur side had won the Madang Soccer Association Grand Final in 2018, prior to their move to semi-professional status.[1]

On 11 January 2019, the side was confirmed as one of the sides entered into the 2019 National Soccer League, and had been drawn into the Northern Conference.[3] They won their opening fixture with a 1–0 victory over Laiwaden FC.[4] By the halfway stage of the season, the side sat fifth out of eight sides in the conference, having won two games and drawn one.[5]

The second half of their season was poor, with the side picking up just one more point, a 1–1 draw with Laiwaden, before five consecutive defeats saw them finish at the bottom of the conference.[5]

They entered the 2019–20 season and started strongly, winning five of their opening nine games thanks to eight goals from Stahl Gubag.[2] However, following Gubag and central defender Nigel Malagian's mid-season transfers to Lae City,[6][7] the side began to struggle, failing to win in seven games before a 2–1 victory over playoff rivals Gulf Komara looked like it might stabilise their playoff push.[8] However, a draw and a defeat in their final two games saw them slip to sixth on the final day.[2]
