Colombo FC retained the coveted Dialog Champions League 2017/18 title, giving a determined performance to rout archrivals Renown SC 1-0 at the Racecourse Ground, Colombo.

Due to higher aggregated points, Renown SC only needed to draw against Colombo FC at the all-important final game of the season to win the coveted title. However, the lads from Colpetty put on a superlative display to bag the final and the Dialog Champions League Trophy 2017/18.
