Thoriq to contest in FAM elections with endorsement of suspended Valencia

Backed by Valencia, a sports club that has been suspended from football activities, Parliamentarian of the Mahibadhoo Constituency, Ahmed Thoriq (Tom) has entered the elections of the Football Association of Maldives (FAM).

Following the current President of FAM, Bassam Adeel Jaleel losing his leadership of the club, he had attempted to regain control of Valencia SC's leadership by lodging a case to the court that was unsuccessful. His close friend and former FAM board member, Hussain Waheed (Dhona) had then proceeded to submit a case to the Disciplinary Committee, who, after investigation, had suspended Valencia SC.
