The International Friendly final between Singapore and Solomon Islands will take place at Singapore National Stadium on Sunday at 5:00 pm IST.
On Sunday, Singapore will host Solomon Islands in an international friendly at the National Stadium in Kallang. There is a significant gap of 24 positions between the two nations in the FIFA world rankings. Solomon Islands currently occupies the 134th spot, while Singapore trails behind in the 158th position.
Singapore extended their unbeaten run in friendlies to five matches with a 2-2 draw against Papua New Guinea. They took the lead twice through Adam Swandi and Hariss Harun, but were equalized both times in the final minutes of the first half. The game ended in a draw, and Takayuki Nishigaya couldn’t secure a victory in his first match as Singapore’s coach. Singapore has lost only one of their last nine international matches in the past 10 months. They will face Solomon Islands in front of a sellout crowd of 55,000, hoping to end the international break on a high note before the 2026 AFC World Cup qualifiers in October.
Solomon Islands started their 2023 campaign with two 2-0 wins, but suffered a 4-1 defeat against Malaysia. Raphael Lea’i scored their only goal, but Malaysia responded and secured a comfortable victory with three second-half goals. Under coach Felipe Vega-Arango, Solomon Islands will conclude their Asian tour with a match against Singapore, aiming to improve their previous 4-3 loss in a friendly fixture in 2019. They have been consistent in scoring during their away games, finding the net in their last 13 matches, with a total of 43 goals, although some of these games took place before the 2010s.
Singapore probable starting lineup: Sunny, Hamzah, Najeeb, Harun, Nor, Kumar, Shahiran, Anuar, Swandi, Kweh Ramli
Solomon Islands probable starting lineup: Mango, Alick, Kalu, Kofana, Stanton, Komasi, Gagame, Tahioa, Lea’i, Feni, Nawo
