State Trading Organization (STO) has signed a sponsor agreement with Football Association of Maldives (FAM), as the main sponsor for the “South League” qualification of Dhivehi Premier League 2023-2024.
FAM introduced the new league system, which focuses on the North, Central and South zone leagues. This marks a major transformation in the Maldivian Football league.
The new format supports the future of football, as it retains the principle that the zone performance should be key to the qualification and ensures teams from the zones get deserved opportunity to play in the Dhivehi Premier League.
STO is sponsoring the South League, consisting of six atolls. The South League will be played between 19 islands of these six atolls. A total of 74 matches will be played in the league.
The South League will continue from 04th December to 27th July 2023.
