The Solomon Islands National Senior Men’s team are set to face the hosts PNG Gold on Wednesday 13 November at the Sir Gu’se Stadium in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
Solomon Islands senior men’s team opening match against the hosts marks their first match of their campaign in the MSG Prime Minister’s cup 2025.
This match is anticipated to be a tough one for both teams. The last time they meet was in the MSG Prime Minister’s Cup 2024 in Honiara where PNG edge past Solmon Islands 3-2 in a 5 goals thriller match at a parked Solomon Islands national stadium.
With the withdrawal of New Caledonia from this year’s tournament, the tournaent will only Fixture 5 teams.
Therefore, in men’s competition, group A comprises of only two team which is Solomon Islands and PNG Gold while group B features Fiji, Vanuatu and PNG Red.
Now by looking at the fixtures, a win in the opening match is an advantage for securing a semi final spot.
Meanwhile, in women’s category, the Solomon Islands senior women’s will play their opening match against the hosts PNG Red this Friday before their final group match against Fiji on Sunday 17th.
