State Soccer Championships Postponed to Wednesday

Flood watch and high winds force schedule change for finals

Published on Feb. 7, 2026

The finals of the Hele/HHSAA Boys Soccer Championships scheduled for today at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex's Main Stadium have been postponed to Wednesday due to a flood watch and high wind watch on Oahu. The HHSAA made the announcement this morning, with the Division II and Division I championship games now set for Wednesday afternoon.

Why it matters

The state soccer championships are a highly anticipated annual event, and the postponement due to inclement weather will impact players, coaches, and fans who were planning to attend the games today. The decision to reschedule the finals reflects the HHSAA's commitment to ensuring the safety of all participants.

The details

On Wednesday, Kamehameha-Hawaii and Kapaa will play for the Division II championship at 4 p.m., and 'Iolani will face Punahou for the D-I title at 6 p.m. Third- and fifth-place games in both divisions scheduled for today on Waipio's adjacent fields were canceled. The decision follows National Weather Service alerts for a flood watch and high wind watch currently in effect for Oahu, and the City and County of Honolulu's announcement that the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex will be closed to the public starting at 1 p.m. today.
