John Alick, the Vanuatu international, is set to captain the Solomon Islands’ champions Solomon Warriors in the upcoming OFC Champions League. The midfielder was a key member of the team and played a significant role in winning the last season’s Telekom S-League. He scored some crucial goals in the final matches of the top-tier league of the Solomon Islands.
The 32-year-old player, who hails from Luganville, will have the honor to captain his side in a special situation, as he will be playing in his hometown. Luganville is where he started his football career and first gained regional recognition playing for Malampa Revivors, a club where he had his first experience of the OFC Champions League. “The bonus is John Alick will be leading the team in his hometown we got a strong Solomon islands community here to support us plus the entire Luganvillie will be behind us“, said Theodore Inomae, Warriors’ media manager.
Alick is a versatile player and is known for his technical abilities and game intelligence. He is expected to lead the Solomon Warriors with his experience and inspire his team to perform at their best in the tournament.
The Solomon Warriors are in Group A of the OFC Champions League and will face some stiff competition from Auckland City, Lupe o le Soaga from Samoa, and Suva from Fiji. Their first match of the tournament is against the defending champions Auckland City this Sunday (14th May) at Soccer City Stadium.
As the captain of the Solomon Warriors, Alick will have the responsibility of leading his team to victory and making sure they put on a strong performance in front of their fans, especially in his hometown of Luganville. All eyes will be on him as he looks to guide his team to glory in the OFC Champions League.
