THE Honiara Football Association (HFA) has confirmed a total of 48 teams for this year’s football season, with the teams set to compete across three divisions: Super League, First Division, and Division Qualification.
HFA General Secretary Redley S. Raramo announced that registration is currently open and will close on Friday, with only 32 football clubs that fulfill the HFA requirements progressing to the new HFA season.
“There is a slight increase in the registration fee to cover the costs of executing the new season competition,” Raramo said. “We encourage confirmed football clubs to start their registration process as soon as possible.”
Addressing the issue of office bearers, Raramo stated that the matter has been resolved by the hierarchy, and he could not provide further details. However, he assured that issues have been formally clarified, and understanding has been reached with the Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF) management, who have given the go-ahead for the season to proceed.
“Please allow the HFA and SIFF executives to deliberate on this issue formally,” he explained, emphasizing the collaborative effort between the associations.
With the season fast approaching, the HFA is gearing up for an exciting year of football action, and the confirmed teams are eager to showcase their skills and compete for divisional glory.
The HFA is committed to providing a platform for local football talent to thrive and is confident that the upcoming season will be a showcase of the passion and talent that exists within the Honiara football community.
