Chris Uranie: For me, it seems Dynamo.
Oliver Dugasse: It’s still too early to say, but now it’s looking like Dynamo.
Seysoccer: Who do you predict will win the Seychelles Championship this year?
Chris Uranie: Bel Air.
Oliver Dugasse: It’s an interesting season; we are halfway through with lots of possibilities, but let’s say Beau Vallon.
Seysoccer: Who is the best free-kick taker in the Seychelles Premier League?
Chris Uranie: Rihno (La Passe) and Gervais Waye-Hive (St. Louis)
Oliver Dugasse: Gervais from St. Louis: we have all seen that.
Seysoccer: In your opinion, who is the fastest player in the Seychelles Premier League?
Chris Uranie: Nirina Angericot (Light Stars) and Ryan Henriette ‘Batman’ (Anse Reunion).
Oliver Dugasse: Hasina from Cote d’Or.
Seysoccer: Which club has the nicest jerseys in Seychelles football?
Chris Uranie: St. Louis.
Oliver Dugasse: Real Maldives.
Seysoccer: If you could choose one player to bring to your club, who would it be?
Chris Uranie: Don Fanchette (Anse Reunion).
Oliver Dugasse: CDM St. Louis: Johan Gamatice.
Seysoccer: How many stars would you give Seysoccer for its work? (1 lowest, 5 highest)
Chris Uranie: 5!
Oliver Dugasse: 100!
Seysoccer: What is your favorite match from the Seychelles Premier League this season?
Chris Uranie: Light Stars – La Passe in the SFF Cup.
Oliver Dugasse: Cote d’Or vs. Anse Reunion ended in a 1-1 draw.
Seysoccer: Which player has impressed you the most this season?
Chris Uranie: Batman is having a very good season.
Oliver Dugasse: Liam, goalkeeper from Dynamo, now plays for La Passe.
Seysoccer: What changes would you like to see in Seychelles football in the next few years?
Chris Uranie: There needs to be a lot of improvement in the stadium, especially at Stad Amitié, which is not good. The time we are given here in Praslin and La Digue to play football needs to change because we all make sacrifices on the inner islands, so it should be the same for all teams.
Oliver Dugasse: We definitely need many changes, including increased use of technology, improved access to youth football programs, and good football pitches. There’s too much focus on this, all aimed at making the game more enjoyable and accessible for players, fans, and referees alike.
