As she grew up, her interest in the sport continued and was backed by her parents. She went on to secure a spot in the PNG Power Football Club, which was managed by her parents.

 

Caroline and her parents were avid football supporters but never dreamt she would one day represent the country. At the tender age of 14, she made her debut representing PNG in the OFC U- 15 Girls Championship in 2010, in New Zealand.

 

Caroline was outstanding when she participated at the recent Oceania Football Confederation Under 20 staged in Mangere, New Zealand. PNG beat Tonga and Vanuatu to face New Zealand in the final playoff of the World Cup Qualifier. PNG went down at 3- nil.

 

This is the fourth time she has represented the country, on this occasion, she was the vice-captain.
