Solomon Islands is a small pacific nation made up
of different islands and three main ethnic races Melanesians, Micronesians and
Polynesians. A small nation but very passionate about football and everything
that also leads to football. One of the football code which Solomon Islands
have excelled in is the five aside code, or known as ‘Futsal’. This is a game
that have really taken Solomon Islands to the world map and have dramatically
collected a lot of Solomon Islanders hearts on the way.
One of the greatest gift and effective tools
humans can be is unity. Unity defies all negativity and is essential for a
healthy nation as well in a broader aspect. In sport, Solomon Islanders love to
talk about their football and one of the things that everyone looked forward to
in any Solomon Islands teams is team work. Team can be defined in many
different ways but the simplest explanation is “together everyone achieves more”.
This is basically being the definition of unity. Solomon Islands we are united
under our nation’s flag and on many occasions we have definitely shown this
through sport.
One of the interesting issue for Solomon Islands
sport especially futsal is the lack of proper facility. The Solomon Islands
national team known as the ‘Kurukuru” have represented Solomon Islands on three
world cups and their latest one was probably the most outstanding one and have
captured the world. For many years, people have complained about the lack of
facility for this particular game of futsal and many times the government have
come close to building it but on unknown reasons have failed to do so. Now
Solomon Islands have heard another interesting news which states that the
government and Solomon Islands Football federation have announced their partnership
in building a first Solomon Islands futsal stadium which will be the home for
the Kurukuru. The people of Solomon Islands now have also another task within
their hands to show their appreciation and this is simply by building a futsal
court. When money calculations is in this, the path seemed impossible but when
unity is present, nothing is impossible. It is with great inspiration that a
small nation like Solomon Islands is filled with amazing hearts to be together
and contribute towards a project of a futsal court.
In understanding the reality, when one considers
to build something big like a stadium, there is always steps to take and on
many occasions things seemed impossible. Kurukuru have already shown the nation
and even the world that there is nothing impossible when unity is present. The Kurukuru
team which is made up of boys who been playing futsal all their lives have
definitely risen to the world stage without having proper facilities and proved
that they are a force to reckon with. Solomon Islands can do great things if
everyone worked together for a greater good and especially in regards to
futsal, a futsal home is something needed. There will be a new generation that
will rise up and it is the people's responsibility to make sure that this new generation
of futsal players have a good home and a place to build their foundation not
only in futsal but also having Godly values.
It is time everyone put their minds and hearts
together and start working towards the common good of all the people. The
nation can only develop to new heights if everyone is in unity because together
everyone achieves more.
