The national beach soccer team Solomon Bilikiki narrowly went down to Switzerland in their first friendly match this morning in Dubai. They lost 1-3 to a very fit and prepared Swiss team led by Angelo Shirinzi who came to assist the Bilikiki last year. It was the Oceania champs who opened the scoring but later conceded 3 goals in what is said to be a very close game which the Bilikiki could have won. The match was the first of three friendly’s organized in Dubai prior to the FIFA beach soccer world cup which starts Monday next week. Meanwhile OFC is trying very hard to have the Swiss Coach Davor Ivcevic who help trained Bilikiki in Honiara early this month to join the team for the World Cup.
