History

Perspective
Solomon Islands disputed its first game on 9 April 2007, for the eight OFC Women's Nations Cup, celebrated in their neighbour country Papua New Guinea. Their first rival was the host team, against whom the team lost 6–1. Prudence Fula became the Solomon Islands' first scorer ever.[2] The nation finished last in the four-team tournament, after a heavy loss with New Zealand[3] and a goalless tie against Tonga. Noel Wagapu coached the team,[4] which consisted of former players of the under-17, under-19 and under-20 national teams.[5]
With Timothy Infiri as the team's manager, the Solomon Islands did an average performance at the 2007 South Pacific Games football tournament in Apia, Samoa. There, the national team managed to achieve its first victory, 3–0 facing American Samoa.[6] Unfortunately, they couldn't advance to the semi-finals due to two losses; with Fiji and Papua New Guinea.
Solomon Islands returned in the 2010 OFC Women's Championship, celebrated in New Zealand. The team was drawn in Group B, along with Papua New Guinea, Tonga and Fiji. The Solomon Islands qualified for the semi-finals after winning to Tonga and tying with Fiji. The team was beaten by the Football Ferns of New Zealand 8–0 in the semi-finals and 2–0 by the Cook Islands in the third-place match.
The team failed to past the group stage in the 2011 Pacific Games tournament. Solomon Islands only won over American Samoa 4–0 and lost the other three games. However, they managed to achieve their best result against Papua New Guinea, a narrow 1–0 loss.[7]
The national team's most recent appearance was in the 2015 Pacific Games, after not entering the 2014 OFC Women's Nations Cup. Solomon Islands was defeated in all of its three matches.
