Maldives eliminated after historic 3-0 defeat to Pakistan

Maldives

Maldives were eliminated from the tournament after suffering a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Pakistan on Thursday evening, marking their first-ever loss to the South Asian rivals since 1991.

The defeat leaves Maldives rooted to the bottom of the standings with zero points from two matches, following their opening 1-0 loss to Afghanistan. With only one match remaining, the hosts can no longer qualify for the final.

Pakistan produced a disciplined and clinical performance to secure a famous victory, ending a winless run against Maldives that had stretched for more than three decades. The result also boosted Pakistan’s hopes of reaching the final, moving them to four points from their opening two matches.

For Maldives, the defeat represents another disappointing chapter in a campaign that began with high expectations on home soil. Despite enjoying support from the home crowd, the national team struggled to impose themselves and were punished by an organised Pakistan side that took their chances.

The result leaves Pakistan top of the standings with four points from two matches. Afghanistan are second with three points from one game, while Bangladesh have one point from their opening fixture. Maldives remain without a point after two matches.

Attention will now turn to Sunday’s fixtures. Afghanistan will face Pakistan in the afternoon in a match that could decide one of the finalists, while Maldives will take on Bangladesh in the evening in what will be their final match of the tournament.

Although qualification is no longer possible, Maldives will be aiming to restore some pride and avoid ending the competition without a point.

Green Streets’ Qualification Hopes Fade After Heavy Defeat to TC Sports

Green Streets

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.

Dhidhdhoo boosted their chances of securing a place in the Dhivehi Premier League 2026/27 after recording a crucial 3-1 victory over Huraa in the Dhivehi Premier League Qualifiers on Tuesday.

The win takes Dhidhdhoo to six points from three matches, moving them firmly into contention for one of the four qualification spots available from the six-team competition. The result also leaves Huraa in a difficult position, with just one point from their opening three matches.

With every team playing each other once, only the top four teams will advance to the Dhivehi Premier League next season. As the qualification race enters its decisive stage, both sides still have two matches remaining.

Dhidhdhoo’s victory places them in a strong position ahead of their remaining fixtures against Green Streets and Biss Buru Sports. Another positive result in either match could secure thema spot in the next edition of Dhivehi Premier League.

For Huraa, the defeat means there is little room for error in their final two matches against Biss Buru Sports and TC Sports. While qualification remains mathematically possible, the team will likely need strong performances in both games to stay in contention for a top-four finish.

The result marks a significant turnaround for Dhidhdhoo after their opening matches and puts the club’s Premier League ambitions firmly in their own hands. Meanwhile, Huraa face an uphill battle as they seek to recover from a disappointing start to the qualifiers.
