SOLOMON Islands National Team head coach Josh Smith has revealed his official 23-man squad for the MSG Prime Minister’s Cup 2024.
With the team’s title defense on the line, Smith has pulled out all the stops, making bold moves to shake up the roster on home turf.
Four additions are made to the squad; Goalkeeper James Do’oro and defender Jayson Kofela pulled straight from the development side and are ready to prove their worth with the senior team.
Teenage sensation Martin Koto, at just 18 years old is set for a senior debut, as John Orobulu makes his return after being left out during the FIFA World Cup – Oceania Qualifiers.
