TC Sports club have thanked FA president Bassam Adeel Jaleel, Sports minister Ahmed Mahloof and the Maldivian government for their efforts to resolve TC's situation and bring the first team squad and officials back to Maldives.

In a press release by TC the statement said that "the club going into quarantine after returning to Maldives is to follow guidelines and for the safety of everyone despite the squad already completing a 14 day quarantine period in Sri Lanka. The club also stated that the feeling and talks are not the same as TC Sports. The thoughts of some members may not be understood by the public but for some players it has been difficult to stay away from their families for a long time."

The statement also stated that an official word from TC was delayed after the clubs twitter has not been accessed due to a technical issue and it took longer than expected to solve the issue.

TC were Male' bound after their maiden AFC cup group game in Bangladesh but soon after they arrived in Sri Lanka it was announced that the club would stay in Sri Lanka until the 14 day quarantine period was over and that they will stay in quarantine in Colombo. 

However, before the 14 day period ended Sri Lanka decided to lock down its airspace therefore, TC were stranded in Colombo for 24 days.
