Tuesday, 30 September 08, 11:21 AM

BRASILIA - The FIFA Futsal World Cup - Brazil 2008 kicks-off in less than 24 hours and the Solomon Islands Kurukuru are ready for action! www.oceaniafootball.com presents fans of the Kurukuru with a photo gallery of action as the team prepares for its first taste of World Cup action against Cuba.

The people of the Solomon Islands will be able to enjoy every kick off the ball in Brasilia thanks to Oceania Football Confederation, FIFA, One News Television (Solomon Islands) and their affiliated broadcast partners from Australia and Fiji.

One News Television (Solomon Islands) broadcast the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup - Marseille 2008 in June this year and company CEO Dorothy Wickham expressed her thanks to FIFA and OFC for helping bring futsal to television screens across the Solomon Islands.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for the people of Solomon Islands to see their stars in action on the world stage at a FIFA event," Wickham said.

In Kurukuru team news, it appears the talismanic Eliot Ragomo will be passed fit to play in the FIFA Futsal World Cup opener against Cuba.

Ragomo was treated for an ankle injury during the team's build-up preparations and was considered doubtful.

About Cuba

Cuba has appeared at three FIFA Futsal World Cup tournaments and played nine matches and has yet to record a single victory. Despite this, Cuba's experience at the finals of FIFA Futsal events is likely to hold them in good stead for the opening match against Solomon Islands with Eduardo Morales and Fernando Chapman likely dangermen for the young Kurukuru.

Cuba finished runners-up in the CONCACAF Futsal Championship 2008 with Morales finishing as the top goalscorer.

The present Cuban squad has been together for five years and is eager to make an impact at the FIFA Futsal World Cup and record its first ever victory.

what happened guys? I was at Nilson Nelson here in Brasília. I really thought u would win. But Cuba was much better. and made 10X2 in the end. It was too unbelievable. U must improve a lot

Squid wrote: | 9 months ago

Who said Cuba was not good. Their standards are way much higher than Oceania. We are lucky to resrain them to 10,2 otherwise they would have run out of time scoring and scoring with ease. Well
done Kurukuru. Your experience is all that counts. We never expect a country without a proper futsal indoor facility to win those that have superb facilities and competitions.
