The Solomon Islands national futsal team, nicknamed Kurukuru,〔("In the Land of the Giants" ), ''Solomon Times'', 6 October 2008〕 represents the Solomon Islands in international futsal competitions. It is one of the strongest teams in Oceania, but fares poorly in competitions outside the region. The team's coach in 2008 was Victor Wai'ia.〔("In the Land of the Giants" ), ''Solomon Times'', 6 October 2008〕 By 2009, he had been succeeded by Dickson Kadau.〔("Kurukuru Flies High, Defeating New Caledonia 8–3" ), ''Solomon Times'', 7 July 2009〕 The country has no futsal stadium, although in July 2009 Prime Minister Derek Sikua promised that the government would assist in building one.〔("GOV’T SUPPORTS FUTSAL STADIUM" ), ''Solomon Star'', 13 July 2009〕 On 7 October 2008, the Solomon Islands established a record for the worst defeat in the history of the Futsal World Cup, when it was beaten by Russia with two goals to thirty-one.〔("Russia Beats Kurukuru 31–2" ), ''Solomon Times'', 7 October 2008〕 It was the country's first participation in the World Cup;〔("FIFA Futsal World Cup: Previous Tournaments" )〕 it finished last of group A, with four games lost out of four, 6 goals for and 69 against.〔("FIFA Futsal World Cup Brazil 2008: Matches" )〕 At the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup, the Kurukuru also finished last of their group, suffering heavy defeats to Russia and Colombia, but did obtain their first World Cup win, beating Guatemala 4–3.〔("Keeper seals historic Solomons win at Futsal World Cup" ), Boxscore, 9 November 2012〕 On a regional level, however, the Kurukuru won the 2008 Oceanian Futsal Championship, and successfully defended their title in 2009, beating Fiji 8–1 in the final,〔("Solomons retains Futsal title" ), FijiVillage News, 11 July 2009〕 and then again in 2010. They are, therefore, the current regional champions.〔("Big welcome for the champions" ), Oceania Football Confederation〕 The Solomon Islands national futsal team currently holds the world record for the fastest ever goal scored in an official futsal match. It was set by Kurukuru captain Elliot Ragomo, who scored against New Caledonia three seconds into the game in July 2009.〔("RAGOMO BEATS WORLD RECORD….to score the fastest futsal goal" ), ''Solomon Star'', 15 July 2009〕 ==Current squad== :''Caps and goals as of 26 March 2013.'' |- ! colspan="9" style="background:#b0d3fb; text-align:left;"| |- style="background:#dfedfd;" |- ! colspan="9" style="background:#b0d3fb; text-align:left;"| |- style="background:#dfedfd;" |- ! colspan="9" style="background:#b0d3fb; text-align:left;"| |- style="background:#dfedfd;" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solomon Islands national futsal team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
