Defending Champions, Victory has won the presidents Cup for a record number of 21 times.
“I would be the most difficult person for New Radiant. I have made their (New Radiant) life miserable. I’ve beat New Radiant more than anyone in Maldivian football at the moment.”
"According to statistics, we have managed to beat them in two consecutive finals. So this will be the third time we will be doing it to them"
Victory has faced NRSC four times this year and NRSC won thrice while the other match ended all squared.
In tomorrow’s final, the top two strikers of Maldives; Umair and Ashfag will face each other. Suzain praised Ashfag saying that he is totally different from any other player.

Both Ashfag and Umair has scored 23 goals so far in the season for the clubs.
Suzain said that, his most comfortable sleep comes parallel with a win against NRSC.
“When ever we manage to beat New Radiant, I manage to get a good night sleep"
