Team Baakee Nets Victory at Ooredoo Mas Race in K. Huraa

Team “Baakee” emerged victorious at the Ooredoo Mas Race held last Friday in K. Huraa, scoring 545 points to secure the championship title among 19 competing teams from the Malé area. The team walked away with a cash prize of MVR 25,000.

“Noru” claimed second place with 490 points, winning MVR 10,000, while “Anantara” secured third place with 370 points, taking home MVR 5,000.

The event also featured individual awards. The largest catch of the competition was a 21-kilogram grouper, landed by Anantara’s Malaaz. Club MTCC’s Ziyadh was named Best Fisherman after reeling in 36 fish, while STELCO Kanbalun’s Ameena was awarded Best Fisherwoman with a catch of 7 fish. Both winners received a PIO Ultimate Sea Spirit/Gangstar (H/D) fishing rod sponsored by Hai Fishing Tackles.

Marking Ooredoo’s 20th anniversary, this year’s Mas Race is being held across two islands — K. Huraa and Sh. Funadhoo. The K. Huraa event was the 16th edition of the tournament, a cultural highlight that continues to draw strong participation and community enthusiasm.

The Ooredoo Mas Race remains one of the country’s most popular fishing competitions, celebrating Maldivian fishing traditions while bringing together teams and individuals from across the nation.
