Dhivehi League was a Maldivian football league organized by the Football Association of Maldives. 8 clubs competed in the league, which was the top level of the Maldivian football league system.

Format

Dhivehi League consisted of 3 round robin rounds, each club once at home and once as visitor. In the 3rd round only the top 6 played, while the lower 2 got relegated. The FAM normalisation committee has decided to rebrand the competition as the Dhivehi Premier League.
