It always seems they are there, but a little too late or just by a whisker, they somehow lose out their chance to roar back into first division. Not this time. It is so real – barring a misfortune of sorts, Hurriyya ( of Huraa island) are on their way to first division after a long time. Since Kuda Moosa coached them to glory and later a Dhivehi league in 2005 under the stewardship of Goffa, they had been on a free fall eventually to be jostled from their perch in first division to second.
Lot of reasons might have conspired to the downfall but time has come they rose from oblivion like phoenix. Dhivehi football needs a change of scenery and some serious injection of entertainment. Some competitive football, flavor of island fun, their supporters in the stadium with drum beats to get rid of the melancholy that seem to have taken residence in the stands! So what better way than Hurriyya making some serious headway and take their place in first division – always a bonus as it helps to trickle more supporters to the stadium. Hoping to catch them in the first division next season as full force to reckon with!
