The 2025 OFC Men’s Champions League will now be hosted by the Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF), following a shift from its original venue in Fiji due to scheduling conflicts with available facilities. Fiji’s primary stadiums, the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva and Churchill Park in Lautoka, are already reserved for matches involving the Fijian Drua.
This year’s tournament is scheduled to run from March 29 to April 13 and will take place in Honiara, utilizing both the National Stadium and Lawson Tama Stadium for the games. The tournament draw is set for December 11, with eight teams from across Oceania competing for the prestigious title, which was held by Auckland City in the previous edition.
Fiji will be represented by Rewa, who secured their spot in the tournament by winning the Digicel Premier League title this year.
This venue change provides an exciting opportunity for fans and players in the Solomon Islands to showcase their hospitality and support for the sport. It also emphasizes the resilience of regional football organizations in adapting to challenges while keeping the spirit of the competition alive.
