Le’ai and Kofana set to play OFC Champions League for Henderson Eels

Two of the brightest youngsters in Oceania, Raphael Le’ai and Leon Kofana are ready to play OFC Champions League for the first time ever. According to Henderson Eels head coach, Eddie Marahare, the Solomon Islanders rising stars will play 2020 OFC Champions League for Henderson Eels.

2019-20 Telekom S-League is not over yet but Henderson Eels and Solomon Islands are already qualified for the continental championship. Eels is currently in the second position but they need a miracle to overtake Solomon Warriors to lift the league’s trophy.

They arrived at Henderson Eels in November and they have been key players since then. Kofana is part of the defensive heart of the team while Le’ai scored 13 goals in six matches in 2019-20 Telekom S-League so far.
