The 2019–20 Telekom S-League is the 16th season of the Telekom S-League, the top football league in the Solomon Islands.
The league kicked off on 14 September 2019.[1] [2] and finished on 29 January 2020.[3] It was originally scheduled to finish in December 2019 but it was postponed. After many discussions the final matches were played on late January.[4]
Solomon Warriors were crowned as the league champions after winning FC Guadalcanal by default in the last gameweek.[5]
Nine teams played the 2019–20 season, an increase from eight in the 2018 season.[6] [7] Western United from the previous season did not enter, and were replaced by Isabel United and Laugu United.
Solomon Warriors and Henderson Eels starred a breathtaking title race. Henderson Eels arrived to the last matchweek needing a miracle to win the league as they needed to beat bottom placed team Real Kakamora by 13 or more goals and cheer for a Solomon Warriors loss against FC Guadalcanal.[9]
Eels won Real Kakamora by 19–0 with eleven goals scored by Raphael Lea'i[10] but Solomon Warriors won Guadalcanal by default to remain with the national league title.[11]
