For Huatia Tango, basketball is more than just a sport — it is a lifelong dream and a calling that connects him to his roots, his family, and his nation. As he gears up to wear the Solomon Islands jersey for the third time at the upcoming FIBA Melanesian Cup, Huatia carries with him more than just personal pride; he carries the spirit of his home village, Ngongona, the love of his family, and the hopes of his community.
Representing Solomon Islands has always been Huatia’s dream. Each time he steps onto the court, he sees it as an honor and a duty — one that drives him to train harder and play with unwavering commitment.
“To represent my country means everything to me. I’m not just playing for myself, but for my family, my village, and for every young Solomon Islander who dreams of wearing this jersey one day,” he shares.
Huatia’s journey is a testament to his perseverance and passion. Basketball has taken him from the basketball court of Ngongona to the national spotlight, and each game is a reminder of how far his determination and beliefs. His story is one of inspiration.
He hopes that by chasing his own dreams, he can encourage more young people in the Solomon Islands to take pride in representing the country. For Huatia, the jersey is not just a uniform — it is a symbol of unity, identity, and honor.
As the Melanesian Cup approaches, Huatia is ready to give his very best, alongside his teammates, to make his country proud. His focus is clear: play with heart, inspire with action, and honor our country during every moment on the court.
All the best to Tango n Team Sol Basketball in the coming tournament....
The dream that started in Ngongona continues.
