Boaz Theofilus Erwin Solossa (born 16 March 1986) is an Indonesian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga 2 club Persipura Jayapura.
In addition, he also brought Persipura to win the top division of Indonesia's professional football league four times in the 2005, 2009, 2011 and 2013 seasons.
But when Indonesia's professional football competition was halted due to FIFA sanctions from 2015 to 2016, he accepted an offer from Borneo FC to play in a non-official tournament because Persipura decided to temporarily disband.
[6] On 10 September 2021, Boaz made his debut for Borneo on a league game against Persik Kediri coming on as a substitute in the 70th-minute, as his team lose 1-0.
[citation needed] He was injured after a tough tackle in a friendly match against Hong Kong, forcing him to miss the Asian Cup 2007 and disappear from football for 10 months.
[10] However, Boaz still disclosed his intention to retire, saying he wanted to discuss the matter with his family first while celebrating Christmas in his hometown of Sorong.
Football also runs in the blood of the Solossa clan as well, with Boaz being the youngest of five children who all went on to become professionals, like his brothers Ortizan and Nehemia.
