The Solomon Islands national football team is the national team of the Solomon Islands and is controlled by Solomon Islands Football Federation. It has shocked the (Oceanian) soccer world in the 2004 Oceania Nations Cup (which doubles as World Cup Qualifying), tying Australia 2-2 to nip heavily-favored New Zealand for second place and a spot in a championship playoff against Australia. Although they lost to the Socceroos 5-1 and 6-0, finishing second in the confederation is a remarkable achievement for the island nation. The Solomons will get a second chance against the Socceroos in a two-legged series in September 2005, this time with the winner advancing to a two-legged series against CONMEBOL's fifth-place finisher for a berth in the 2006 World Cup.
