Fiji:
Qualification history
Fiji’s FIFA World Cup™ history dates back to 1981, further than any other Pacific Island nation. Fiji claimed their most famous scalp of all with a 1-0 home win over Australia in 1988 and for a while they were by far the most successful of all the Island nations. Four years ago, Fiji reached the final four in Oceania and were the only team to defeat New Zealand in the All Whites' successful run to South Africa 2010.

The current crop
Fiji have not played a senior international match since their memorable 2-0 home victory over New Zealand in 2008, with the result ensuring a third-placed finish in Oceania qualifying. The current Fijian squad will not be lacking in the striking department but contains a host of young talent untested at international level.

The key players
In attack Roy Krishna has proved his worth at international level, hitting a brace against New Zealand to end the last campaign on a high. He has since figured prominently for one of New Zealand’s big two clubs - Waitakere United – appearing at the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup. The same tournament last year in Abu Dhabi featured six Fijians in the colours of Papua New Guinea's Hekari United, most notably striker Osea Vakatalesau, who was the leading global goalscorer with a dozen strikes during South Africa 2010 qualifying.

Soloman:
Qualification history
The Solomon Islands have rich footballing traditions reflected in their FIFA World Cup™ history, which dates back to 1992. They immediately showed their abilities in firstly drawing with Tahiti and then sensationally giving Australia a scare before falling to a late 2-1 defeat. The Solomons came of age in qualifiers for Germany 2006, drawing 2-2 away against Australia to edge past New Zealand. Although the ensuing play-off against Australia ended in heavy defeat, over 20,000 crammed into the national stadium in Honiara with five figure crowds common for major international and club matches since.

The current crop
Coach Jacob Moli has a plethora of naturally gifted players to choose from and it is expected to be a revitalised Solomons side for the qualifying campaign. Despite a paucity of national team matches, numerous players filled the Hekari United squad which competed at last year’s FIFA Club World Cup, while the team will also be boosted by the competition offered in the Solomon Islands' first national league season played during 2011.

The key players
Henry Fa’arodo will again lead the attack and the pacy frontman can fall back on the experience of two FIFA World Cup campaigns, having also been the only Solomon Islander to play in the Australian A-League. Equally invaluable and experienced members of the squad are Abraham Iniga and Gideon Omokirio, who both featured for Hekari United at UAE 2010.

Coach: Jacob Moli
Best performance in a FIFA competition: None
Former stars: Batram Suri, Jack Samani
