The Futsalroos face Solomon Islands in a three-match series across five days this week, serving as preparation ahead of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup Thailand 2024™.
Miles Downie has named a strong 15-player squad featuring some of Australia’s best Futsal talent for the exciting series of matches in Honiara, Solomon Islands, thanks to a partnership with the Australian Government and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs, through PacificAus Sports.
The two nations met in a three match PacificAus Sport series in Sydney during July last year which Australia won two of its three encounters and will now meet again for another three match series.
This time, the Solomon Islands, who have successfully qualified for four of the past five FIFA Futsal World Cups, will play play host.
The series will see the Futsalroos become the first visiting international side to play the Solomon Islands at the newly constructed and purpose-built Friendship Hall in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
How To Watch
All three matches kick off at 6:00pm AEDT and will be streamed live via the Solomon Islands Football Federation Facebook page here.
