The Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF) and coaches for the national Kurukuru Futsal Team for the FIFA Futsal World Cup will name their final 16-man squad tomorrow.
The Kurukurus will leave the country on Friday, travelling via Australia and Dubai for Poland where they will undergo final preparations for the World Cup in Lithuania.
The squad will end their two weeks intensive training camp at the Pacific Casino today, as they look ahead for their training camp in Poland.
The World Cup futsal squad will then head to Croatia after Poland, for a warm up tournament before heading over to Lithuania.
“European Tour set. Our next training camp is confirmed to be in Poland starting next month before the team jets off to Croatia for a warm-up tournament ahead of the FIFA Futsal World Cup Lithuania 2021 in September,” a team statement said.

“The official announcement of the World Cup squad will be made on Wednesday 28 July 2021,” the statement adds.
The team meanwhile thanked Gateway International Mission and Healing Center for hosting the team on Sunday for their commissioning.
