Solomon Islands S-League


The Solomon Islands S-League, commonly known as just the S-League, is a semi professional league and the top division of the Solomon Islands Football Federation. It replaced the Solomon Islands National Club Championship, which lasted from 2000 until 2010.
The league is best known for the popularity of Real Kakamora, who served as one of the league's 8 founding members in 2011. After losing all 22 of their matches in a historically-abysmal campaign in 2023, Kakamora established an account on Instagram and quickly gained international popularity as the self-proclaimed "worst club in the world," with their unique posts bringing significant attention to football in Solomon Islands. Since then, the club has leveraged their newfound fame to help rebuild their squad and become one of the best-performing clubs in the country.
Solomon Warriors are considered to be the league's most successful club, winning 7 titles since its founding. However, in 2025, the club exited the league and went on hiatus due to financial issues. Central Coast are the defending champions, winning back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025.

Format

In the current format, all teams compete in a round robin, where the team that ends at the first place are crowned champions. Together with the second-placed team, they qualify for the OFC Champions League. The bottom team is then relegated to the Second Division, while the best performing team from that league is promoted to this league.

History

[Solomon Islands [National Club Championship (2000–10)|National Club Championship (2000–10)]]

The Solomon Islands S-League was founded in 2000, with Koloale taking out the first premiership title. The final championship was the 2009–10 season, with the next season renamed to the Telekom S-League.

The Knockout Championship (2011–12)

All teams of the league played a knockout tournament after the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons, called the Knockout Championship. The winners of both competitions played a two legged play-off for a place in the OFC Champions League. In the case of the 2011–12 season play-off, Solomon Warriors won both these competitions and automatically qualified. The 8-team competition was abandoned in the 2013–14 season due to the increase of teams from 8 to 9.

Telekom S-League (2010–present)

In 2011, the competition was renamed to the Telekom S-League. Marist, Koloale, Kossa, Solomon Warriors, Makuru, Hana, Western United and Real Kakamora participated in the initial season of the new league. The first inaugural S-League was won by Koloale.
