It is a fact
that the health of Dhivehi football depend on the wealth of New Radiant Sports
Club, the team with the biggest fanbase. If they are in the driving seat,
threatening to get away with league title there is always enough buzz in the
stadium. People flock in numbers and the atmosphere is nothing sort of
electrifying. If you are looking for proof then look at the stand at the
southside of stadium.
You may have
still huge chunks of empty stands but it is a lot better than last year when VB
sports( VB Addu fc) was calling shots. It had been a terrible season. VB had
all the tops players and the rest were a big mismatch, all the time playing a
catch-up. By first round VB could have been crowned the champions.
Now that
Eagles and Vyansa have thrown their hats into the ring with big money, bringing
some of the best players available, all the teams are on a level-playing field.
It is competitive; the rivalry is getting to heady mix of intoxication.
There is a positive sense of expectation that things are looking bright
for Dhivehi football, at least for now.
Sadly
champions VB Addu fc is stuck at the bottom of the table after the departure of
some of the big players. What they did only news-worthy was to rebrand the club
to VB Addu fc. Other than that they did nothing to get the support from fans,
more prominently form the newly-acquired ones.
