History
National Club Championship (2003–10)
The Solomon Islands S-League was founded in 2003, with Koloale F.C. taking out the first premiership title. The final championship was the 2009–10 season, with the next season renamed to the Telekom S-League.[citation needed]
The Knockout Championship (2011–12)
All teams of the league played a knockout tournament after the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons, called the Knockout Championship. The winners of both competitions played a two legged playoff for a place in the OFC Champions League. In the case of the 2011–12 season playoff, Solomon Warriors F.C. won both these competitions and automatically qualified. The 8-team competition was abandoned in the 2013–14 season due to the increase of teams from 8 to 9.
Telekom S-League (2010–present)
In 2011, the competition was renamed to the Telekom S-League.[1] Marist, Koloale, KOSSA, Solomon Warriors, Makuru, Hana, Western United and Fasi Roos participated in the initial season of the new league. [2] The first inaugural S-League was won by Koloale FC.
