Speaking to The Respondent Online, tournament coordinator Yusuph Mohamed highlighted the growing competitiveness of the league, noting that teams and players are improving rapidly.
“Competition is intensifying day by day. Players are showcasing more skills, which raises the league’s overall quality and excitement for fans,” Mohamed said.
