English manager Paul Watson helped establish the Pohnpei Premier League.[4] Clubs included the Island Piutbulls, who competed in shirts donated by English side Yeovil Town, and originated from the College of Micronesia and church groups.[5] The best players from the league were then offered the chance to train to be in the Pohnpei national team.[6]
