The football fraternity and football fans in Solomon Islands received their best news yet this year with the announcement that football is among the sports approved for the 2011 Pacific Games.
The announcement was made yesterday by the National Olympic Committee of Solomon Islands (NOCSI) and comes after an uneasy time for football in Solomon Islands as it faced uncertainty about its place in the next edition of the Pacific Games. Earlier this year NOCSI announced that football is not one of the sports automatically selected for the Pacific Games. Instead, NOCSI said football will have to go through a justification process. As the custodian of football in the country the Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF) was put under immense pressure to convince the...

The Solomon Islands have claimed their third consecutive OFC Futsal Championship at Suva's Vodafone Arena on Saturday, finishing above runners-up Fiji and New Zealand who took third.
Dickson Kadau's side concluded the round-robin competition in style with a 21-2 win over Tuvalu which almost matched the tournament record of 23-1 set by the Futsalroos over Samoa back in 1996 when Australia was still part of OFC. Kurukuru sensation Elliot Ragomo showed why he is one of the best in the region, scoring seven goals in his final match to claim the OFC Golden Boot Award just ahead of teammate Micah Lea'alafa. Kadau says it was a team effort that took them to the title. "The experienced players were all impressive but I have to say some of the...

The Solomon Islands were in a confident mood at the OFC Futsal Championship today playing with a 'fifth attacker' for much of the game against Tahiti.
Dickson Kadau's side kept up their winning ways with a 6-2 scoreline to extend their lead at the top of the table after contenders Fiji dropped points against New Zealand. With the introduction of goalkeeper David Lafai in the second period, the Kurukuru experimented with the 'power play' of futsal where Lafai stepped into the attack acting as a pivot on the halfway line. Solomon Islands looked comfortable from the outset with captain Elliot Ragomo hitting the post in the first minute of the game. The 19-year-old hit the upright again soon after before...
