Every year, 8 teams compete in this high-profile competition, the top level in Maldives.

There are two qualification methods:

Zone 1-8 consists of the Atolls and the two finalists of Zone 1-8 Final Tournament and the top 2 teams of Zone 9 Qualification (Malé League, First Division) participate in Dhivehi league along with the 4 best-finishes in the Dhivehi league of the previous year.
