The Solomon Islands government has begun the race to allocate land on which the National Sports Stadium will be built on after it won the bid to host the 2023 Pacific Games.
Ministry of Lands officials said two sites have been identified in the capital Honiara but have yet to get the final endorsement by cabinet.
The officials said there are also issues of illegal settlers on one identified site.
RNZI correspondent says the Ministry of Lands has been beset by allegations of corruption for a number of years, putting into question land titles given for sites that were reserved for national projects.
