2013 CLUB CHAMPION OF THE SOLOMON ISLANDS

Consisting of nearly one thousand islands, the economy of Solomon Islands is small, but growing strongly. Logging activities have recently been one of Solomon Islands most important sources of economic growth. But this source of growth is unsustainable. The country is therefore broadening the base of the economy, with mining, agriculture exports, fisheries, and tourism all being targeted for fast economic growth.

 

The security and safety that RAMSI brought to Solomon Islands in 2003 has also provided a strong base for economic growth. New investors in the country are now able to start businesses with a renewed sense of confidence and certainty about the future.

​

A gold mine on Guadalcanal started producing gold early in 2010. International airlines are now competing vigorously on routes to and from Solomon Islands. And the Solomon Taiyo company is producing tuna for export markets around the world.

​

With bountiful oceans, beautiful scenery, and rich mineral deposits, this is only the beginning for a new and revitalised Solomon Islands economy.

There are eight teams competing in the S-League, under a double round robin format to decide the champion. All teams of the league also play a knockout tournament after the season, the Championship Series. The winners of both competitions play a two legged playoff for a place in the OFC Champions League. Both titles are awarded with a $150,000 (local currency) winners purse. Should a team win both competitions, they automatically qualify for the Champions League.
