History

In the 2015 OFC U-17 Championship striker Larry Zama scored thirteen goals in the course of the campaign making him the top goal scorer of the tournament. He scored eight goals in a single game against American Samoa, a tournament record to that date. In the semi-finals of the 2018 OFC U-16 Championship Solomon Islands defeated Fiji to qualify for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru. Solomon Islands were to make their FIFA U-17 World Cup Debut in Peru in 2019; however on 15 February 2019 Solomon Islands seemed to have forfeited their chance of playing in the event due to over-age player Chris Satu. In February 2019 it was also announced that Raphael Lea'i and Leon Kofana will go to Scots College, Wellington and train with Wellington Phoenix FC. On 3 March 2019, upon OFC Executive Committee appeal Solomon Islands were able to keep their spot for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup, which will now be played in Brazil after Peru's hosting rights were withdrawn due to infrastructure concerns and delays of the organising committee. Their first FIFA U-17 World Cup match is on 28 October 2019 in Group F where Solomon Islands will play against Italy, then 31 October where they will play against Paraguay and the last Group F on 3 November which they will play against Mexico.
