Solomon Islands eyes 3v3 World Floorball Championships push
BY RICHARD MENANOPO
The Floorball Federation Solomon Islands (FFSI) is ramping up preparations for the 2026 3v3 World Floorball Championships in Spain, with both men’s and women’s national teams officially registered and now chasing crucial funding support.
FFSI President Adam Olofsson confirmed to Island Sun that training and competition schedules are already in full swing locally as the country builds towards the global event.
“Both men’s and women’s teams are registered for the World Cup in Spain and preparations are underway.
“We just need to secure some more sponsors to make sure the teams can travel,” Olofsson said.
He revealed that while a major boost has come through sponsorship support, more funding is still needed to meet the full cost.
“We have sponsorship from Our Telekom for the registration fee of SBD6,000, but we are still targeting around SBD400,000 in total to cover the campaign.
“If we can get small sponsors here and there, we will be closer to that target,” he said.
Olofsson also made a direct appeal to potential backers.
“If anyone wants to have their logos on our beautiful national team’s jerseys, this is a great opportunity to support the teams,” he added.
The Solomon Islands teams have been drawn into competitive pools for both divisions, highlighting the scale of the challenge ahead against established floorball nations.
Meanwhile, domestic action continues with playoffs nearing their climax.
“On Sunday there might be two champions in both men’s and women’s divisions depending on results, as we play best-of-five in the playoffs,” Olofsson explained.
Weekly training sessions, including gym work, skills development, and match play, are being held at the Friendship Hall, reflecting a structured build-up.
Floorball, a fast-growing indoor sport in the Solomon Islands, continues to gain momentum, with SIFF now pushing to elevate the country’s presence on the international stage.
