FA Cup to start on February 10th




Male', MALDIVES -
Next season’s Football Association (FA) Cup is scheduled to kick off on 10th February and the deadline to participate is 23rd of January, says Football Association of Maldives (FAM).

FA Cup is open for all the clubs/associations registered under FAM and the tournament is regarded as the biggest in the season other than Dhivehi League. One major reason for clubs targeting FA Cup is the winner will get the chance to represent Maldives in the AFC Cup.

Second division champions All Youth Linkage (AYL) is already focusing on the FA Cup and last season’s best club Vyansa is also set their eye on the title New Radiant has won most of the time. New Radiant, the current title holder, has won FA Cup 10 times in its 20 year history and they won it three years in a row for two occasions.

VB Sports and Maziya who didn’t get the chance to appear in this year’s Cup Winner’s Cup will start the season from FA Cup.
