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...

Solomon Island's very first FIFA World Cup referee, Matthew Taro, has arrived in South Africa ahead of the start of the biggest sporting event of the year on June 11.
An email from Taro to the SIFF Media Office yesterday said that the two other Oceania Football Confederation referee arrived in South Africa last Wednesday and are now camping at the FIFA referees headquarters for the World Cup. Taro said that adjusting to the time difference in Pretoria which is 9 hours behind Solomon Islands time is one of his first concerns. His bigger concern, however, is with Pretoria's altitude whish is about 1300m above sea level.

Koloale Football Club of Honiara has beaten Solomon Warriors, also of Honiara, 2-1 to win the Our Telekom National Club Championship.
In typical style, Koloale pounced on Solomon Warrior's defence line through its two big names, Benjamin Totori and Henry Fa'arodo (Jr). It only seemed a matter of time before Koloale registered its first goal, and it was through the leading golden boot candidate, Benjamin Totori. Solomon Warriors, formerly known as Uncles FC, put up some classy attack of their own, questioning Koloale's defence. Despite the concerted attack, the game remained tight at 1-0 going into the break. The second half saw Solomon Warriors maintain its attack through the likes of Gibson Daudau...
