The Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF) has confirmed the selection of 31 participants for its upcoming MA Grassroots Course, marking another step in strengthening football development at community level.
In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, SIFF said its Technical Department had completed a thorough review of applications before finalising the list.
“The SIFF Technical Department has completed the review of all applications for the SIFF MA Grassroots Course. The following individuals have been selected to attend,” the federation stated.
The three-day course will run from Monday 4 to Wednesday 6 May 2026 at the SIFF Conference Room in Honiara, with daily sessions scheduled from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
SIFF emphasised that attendance across all three days is compulsory for certification.
“Selected applicants must attend all three days to receive certification,” the statement added.
The federation also acknowledged the overwhelming interest shown by applicants, confirming plans for another intake later this year.
“In response to the high number of applicants, the Technical Department will be arranging an additional MA Grassroots Course later this year.”
The selected participants include a mix of aspiring coaches and grassroots football advocates from across the country.
The MA Grassroots Course is part of SIFF’s ongoing efforts to build coaching capacity and promote football development at the community level, aligning with regional initiatives to grow the game from the grassroots upward.
