New Radiant claimed they have not been paid the full prize money of both Charity Shield and Dhivehi League

New Radiant Sports Club, who has already won the Milo Charity Shield and Dhiraagu Dhivehi League in this season, claimed that Football Association of Maldives has not paid them the prize money. The prize money of both Milo Charity Shield and Dhiraagu Dhivehi League is MVR100,000 each and the winner of Charity Shield will have to donate MVR20,000 for an NGO.

Speaking at a press conference held at FAM House today, New Radiant's director of football Anwar Ali said the club has tried to get a concrete answer from FAM through letters, phone calls and other means but so far not fruitful.

"We have been trying to get an answer for delay in money from FAM but we didn't get a genuine answer from FAM. Sadly, we have to say they haven't even replied to our letter" Anwar added.

Anwar said the club must not only receive the prize money of charity shield and dhivehi league but also the funds from tournament sponsors as well as money from match audience.

"I don't know about other clubs, but we haven't receive any funds from dhivehi league sponsors as well as ticket money"

In the press conference New Radiant confirmed they will continue their preparation fro the AFC Cup game with national team players, who arrived last night, from today.

"We are very thankful for youth ministry for arranging national stadium for club practices" club coordinator Ibrahim Shaaz Habeeb said.

Anwar also added that Ministry of Youth and Sports are very cooperative in club's AFC Cup matters.

I thought Maldives league was so professional but after doing some research I found that India and even Nepal have standard league than Maldives..In Maldives only one club is ruling with dozens of goals in a single game...no competition at all...and the prize money for winner is so less..In Nepal leauge winner gets NPR. 7,000,000 and In India its even higher.

Yes, they have better leagues than us. And our problem is that we do not want to accept that reality. And we do not want to talk about that reality. Have you seen any report about that in any news paper or on TV??? Of cause you will not see anything like that because we do not want to talk about our own problems. Specially the problems that have good solutions if we take it serioulsy. For example spreading the league accross Maldives and adopting H-A system. There are lots and lots of talents in the atolls. We do not hear about them because they cannot come and live in this expensive Male', specially when the salary from clubs are not a guarantee ( look what happended to Valencia and Victory players)
