At the age of 35, Nawo brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the national team, acquired through his journey across various countries in the South Pacific. His remarkable career has seen him represent prominent clubs such as Hekari United in Papua New Guinea and Tafea in Vanuatu.
Nawo’s erformances in the ongoing season of the Telekom S-League have cemented his status as one of the league’s star players. His skills, vision, and ability to influence matches have earned him recognition not just within his club, Kossa, but also on the international stage.
Having already represented his country 39 times, Nawo’s selection as the new captain of the Solomon Islands national team is a testament to his leadership qualities and the respect he commands among his peers. His experience and understanding of the game will be instrumental in guiding the team forward, especially in the face of formidable opponents like Malaysia and Singapore in the upcoming FIFA international window.

Nawo’s appointment comes as a result of the retirement of the legendary Micah Lea’alafa, whose contribution to the national team will forever be cherished. As Lea’alafa passes the torch to Nawo, there is no doubt that the new captain is ready to step up and carry the team’s aspirations on his shoulders.

Nawo’s leadership will be crucial in motivating and organizing the team, as they aim to make a statement on the international stage.
