Biss Buru Sports Club Go Top After 6-0 Rout of Gadhdhoo
Biss Buru Sports Club climbed to the top of the Dhivehi Premier League (DPL) Qualifiers 2026/27 standings with a dominant 6-0 victory over Gadhdhoo Sports Club.
The emphatic win takes Biss Buru to seven points from three matches, placing them at the summit of the six-team league table. They are level on points with TC Sports but lead the standings on goal difference.
For Gadhdhoo, the defeat leaves them fourth in the table with three points from three matches. While they currently occupy one of the four qualification spots available for next season’s Dhivehi Premier League, the race remains tight with two matches still to play.
The DPL Qualifiers feature six clubs competing in a single-round league format, with the top four teams earning promotion to the Dhivehi Premier League for the 2027 season.
Biss Buru will look to strengthen their position at the top when they take on K. Huraa in their next fixture. Huraa are currently second from bottom with just one point from three matches and are in urgent need of points to revive their qualification hopes.
Meanwhile, Gadhdhoo face a difficult challenge against TC Sports, who sit second in the standings with seven points from three matches, trailing Biss Buru only on goal difference. A positive result for Gadhdhoo could prove crucial in their battle to remain inside the top four as the qualifiers enter their decisive stages.
With two rounds of matches remaining, the race for promotion remains wide open, but Biss Buru and TC Sports have established themselves as the early frontrunners following strong starts to their campaigns.

Green Streets’ Qualification Hopes Fade After Heavy Defeat to TC Sports
Green Streets suffered a significant blow to their Dhivehi Premier League (DPL) qualification hopes after falling to a 3-0 defeat against TC Sports in the DPL Qualifiers 2026/27.
The result leaves Green Streets rooted to the bottom of the six-team standings with just one point from three matches. With only two games remaining, their chances of securing a top-four finish and qualification to next season’s Dhivehi Premier League are now hanging by a thread.
TC Sports, meanwhile, continued their impressive campaign with another commanding performance. The victory moved them to the top of the table with seven points from three matches, having recorded two wins and one draw. They remain unbeaten and are firmly on course to secure one of the four qualification spots.
Green Streets entered the match needing a positive result to boost their promotion hopes but were unable to match TC Sports, who controlled proceedings and capitalized on their opportunities to secure all three points.
The qualifiers are being contested by six teams in a single-round league format, with the top four teams advancing to the Dhivehi Premier League. While TC Sports have strengthened their position at the summit, Green Streets now face a difficult task and will likely need victories in both of their remaining matches, as well as favorable results elsewhere, to keep their qualification dream alive.
With the competition entering its decisive stage, TC Sports look increasingly likely to book their place in the top flight, while Green Streets must produce a remarkable turnaround if they are to avoid missing out on qualification.
