Club Valencia is a Maldivian professional football club based in Malé. Nicknamed The Sunrisers, the club most recently competed in the Dhivehi Premier League, the top tier of Maldivian football.

History

The notion of establishing a football club named Club Valencia arose in the late 1970s from the players of blue and gold teams participating in the Junior Football Pool organized by National Sports Academy.

The first two names proposed to the government for approval as the name of the club were Youth Recreation Movement and Juvenile Valencia Atletico; both were rejected. The third name, Club Valencia was then approved by the government.

The chairman of the club is Mr. Adheel Jaleel who was elected to the post in 2015.
