History

Former club logo

Originally founded in January of 1998[1] as an amateur team, the club has alternated between a dark blue and white kit since its inception. They remained relatively unknown until 2011, when they joined the Telekom S-League as last-minute replacements for Makuru FC, who had refused to play in the league on religious grounds.[2] Since joining, they played the majority of their home matches at the 22,000-capacity Lawson Tama Stadium in Honiara, which has served as the de facto home venue of the entire league as a whole, restricting the club to play both their home and away matches at the stadium.[3]

In domestic football, Real Kakamora enjoyed somewhat limited success in its first few seasons as a professional club, with two 4th-place finishes in the 2011-12[4] and 2014-15[5][6] editions of the league. Since their last 4th-place finish, the team has served as a perennial bottom-feeder in Solomon football, finishing in the bottom four places of the table each season; the lone exception being a 5th-place finish in 2021.[7]

Real Kakamora finished 0-0-22 in the 2023 season, conceding an average of 5.27 goals per match[3] and with a goal difference of -102 despite playing in only 22 matches. Their season ended with a 14-0 loss to Solomon Warriors, with striker Tigi Molea tallying 10 goals in the match to clinch the league title for Warriors, the 2nd-highest total in league history.[8][9]

In 2024, Real Kakamora got their first victory in 2 years against Marist FC, the players who scored were Paul Francis, Kieran Israel, V. Luiga and Michael Lalo. But the next Match, They won 2 - 0 against Kossa FC, starting a 2 Match winstreak, The First one since 2021.
