Marine Victoria City has made significant investments in their team, positioning themselves as one of the main contenders for the Championship this season. The club appears well-organised, showcased by a strong first-team squad and active social media presence. It is refreshing to see another club striving for excellence in Seychelles football.
Muccia CDS, having gained promotion following the closure of Defence Forces FC, is still in the process of finalising their squad. This late adjustment may take time for the team to gel and find their rhythm on the pitch. Despite their struggles, they displayed moments of promise that could bode well for their future.
Fredo scored a hat-trick and fully deserved the Man of the Match award for his outstanding performance on the pitch.
The match was largely decided by half-time, with Marine Victoria City leading 4-1. One of the standout performers was Loic Odilson, who made headlines with his transfer from La Passe FC. In his debut, he scored 1 goal, highlighting his immediate impact on the squad.
The presence of Fredo, who opted to stay with Marine Victoria City despite rumours linking him to St. Michel, alongside Loic, Leonard Besabotsy, and Clariel, has transformed the team into a formidable unit compared to previous years. Their combination of experience and talent suggests that Marine Victoria City will be a force to reckon with as the season progresses.
As they continue to build momentum, Marine Victoria City looks poised to challenge for silverware, while Muccia CDS will need time to develop and adapt in the top flight.
