The race for a place in the U19 Youth Championship 2026 Final is set for a dramatic conclusion, with just one round of fixtures remaining before the tournament's championship match. Only the top two teams in the standings will qualify for the final, meaning every point could prove decisive.
After four matches, Maziya U19 lead the table on 10 points, level with Odi U19, but ahead on goal difference. New Radiant U19 remain firmly in contention with 8 points, while Buru, Keyodhoo and TC Sports are already out of the race.
Current Top Three

What's at Stake?
The opening fixture between New Radiant and Buru could pile the pressure on the league leaders. If New Radiant defeat Buru, they would move onto 11 points, temporarily climbing into the top two and forcing Maziya and Odi to respond the following night.
The final fixture between Maziya and Odi effectively becomes a winner-takes-all showdown if New Radiant win. Both teams currently sit on 10 points, meaning a defeat for either side would leave them vulnerable to being overtaken.
Possible Final Fixtures
With one matchday remaining, several final combinations are still possible:
Maziya U19 vs Odi U19 – if both remain in the top two.
Maziya U19 vs New Radiant U19 – if New Radiant win and Maziya avoid defeat.
Odi U19 vs New Radiant U19 – if New Radiant win and Odi secure enough against Maziya to finish in the top two.
Everything now comes down to the final two matches. An unbeaten Maziya, a resilient Odi side, and an in-form New Radiant team all have realistic hopes of reaching the championship match, setting up what promises to be a thrilling finish to the U19 Youth Championship 2026.
