HONIARA: The Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF) has announded it will conduct a FIFA/OFC Beach Soccer Referees course starting February 21 in Honiara.

SIFF Development officer Noel Wagapu confirmed that invitations have already been sent out to all the provincial football associations including Honiara Football to nominate their participants to attend the course.

This will be FIFA’s first Beach Soccer Referees course to be conducted in Solomon Islands since beach soccer started a few years ago.

Wagapu says all applications and nominations need to be sent to his office by February 17 before he can finalise the list.

“I should be able to confirm the number of participants for the course after Monday 17,” Wagapu said.

FIFA Instructors Massimo Raveino (Tahiti) and Neil N Poloso (Solomon Islands) will be the instructors for the course.
