Solomon Islands not represented in course

Tuesday, 11 November 2008

THERE are no Solomon Islands representatives attending the weeklong FIFA sanctioned Futsal coaching course held in Suva , Fiji.

Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF) revealed to Star Sports the reason for Solomon Islands not attending is they were not invited.

This is despite Solomon Islands being the first Islands nation to represent Oceania in the Futsal World Cup this year after winning the qualifiers earlier in Suva .

The course starts yesterday and will be attended by coaches from other countries in the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) region.

FUTSAL is a popular sport in the world today as a shorter code of football played in almost every country.

Through the course and the clinic, the coaches will be able to develop the sport further in the region but unfortunately we are left out.

A FIFA Beach Football clinic held fortnight ago in Suva which was attended by participants from Fiji , Vanuatu and New Caledonia also left Solomon Islands out.
