VICTORIA, Seychelles — West Boys United were crowned champions of the Seychelles Football Federation League One on Thursday evening after a comprehensive 10-0 victory over Glacis at Stad Popiler, a result that brought their points tally to 43 and left them mathematically uncatchable at the summit of the table, confirming promotion to the SFF Championship league for the 2026-27 season in what was a dominant title-winning campaign across the full length of the League One season. The emphatic margin of victory on the final night served as a fitting reflection of West Boys United’s superiority throughout the campaign.
League One title success represents the highest achievement a club at that level of Seychellois football can reach, and for West Boys United, promotion to the Championship league opens the door to competition against the island’s elite clubs including the current Absa Premier League title contenders. For their supporters, players, and officials, the achievement represents the reward of sustained hard work and commitment to developing football at the community level.
West Boys United’s 10-0 demolition of Glacis was a statement performance that underlined the gulf in class between the champions and the rest of the division at the conclusion of the campaign. The scale of Thursday’s victory, combined with the overall points tally of 43, indicates a team that has been consistently dominant over opponents throughout the season, according to the league standings. No other team in the division was able to accumulate enough points to pose a serious challenge to West Boys United’s claim to the title, and the championship was confirmed with no other club capable of surpassing their total.
League One serves as the second tier of organised football in Seychelles under the SFF pyramid structure, providing a pathway for clubs developing outside the elite Championship and Premier League framework to earn their place in top-flight competition. West Boys United’s promotion means they will face significantly stronger opposition in the season ahead, testing whether the qualities that made them dominant at League One level can translate to success against established Championship clubs with greater resources and experience.
The SFF Championship and Absa Premier League seasons continue, with separate title races ongoing in both competitions. The top league currently features Foresters, Côte d’Or, PTL Bazar Brothers, and Bel Air separated by just two points at the summit, providing a contrasting picture of intense competition that West Boys United will be aiming to enter at the earliest opportunity following their League One triumph.
West Boys United’s League One title is a significant milestone for the club and a reminder of the depth and vitality of Seychellois football beyond the spotlight of the top-flight competition.
