The most important vision of Solomon Kings FC is to make sure Solomon Islands players play in the world cup stages.
This visionary message was given by the deputy chair of the Solomon Kings board Mr Rabi during an open Fan Club community event hosted by Our Telekom over the weekend at Lawson Tama Stadium.
He also acknowledged the Solomon Kings players and supporters.
“What they have sacrificed since they left on the 28th of December and only got back home last Friday, they represent everything in this country,” he said.
He added humility, respect, pride, passion, family, which are all the values of football in this country but also of the Solomon Kings, these gentlemen are the first professional team of any sport in this country.
“We give them a big round of applause for the sacrifice they have made,” he said.
He acknowledged the Solomon Islands supporters in Australia who followed the team when the team went to Brisbane.
“What we saw, the OFC Pro League, without the Solomon Kings supporters in Melbourne, it would not have been what it was, one thing about this nation, it will get behind its team, its supporters,” he said.
“And for their club in Australia, Wynnum Wolves, they have a long history of football with the Solomon Islands, as they toured Solomon Islands 25 years ago.
“Every Solomon Islands player here has a home in Brisbane at Wynnum Wolves, and every Wynnum Wolves player that comes to Solomon Islands has a home,” he said.
He added that the coming weekend, when the boys play their first game against Auckland, in front of a full stadium, they will show Oceania that the heart of football in Oceania is here in Honiara in the Solomon Islands.
