Rilwan Waheed (born 14 February 1991) is a Maldivian footballer nicknamed "Riley" who plays as a winger for New Radiant and Maldives national team.
Rilwan signed with Club Valencia at the age of 15 in 2006, but the FAM rules did not allow him to play at senior level football. In the following year 2007, at the age of 16, he started playing in the 1st Division.
He made his debut on 30 July 2007 against New Radiant as a substitute in the second half of the match where they won 1–0.
Rilwan ended his debut season with third in league, runner up in the FA Cup and crowning the Cup Winners' Cup.
Rilwan was used as a substitute in the season most of the time and featured in a few games. He played his Cup Winners' Cup debut on 16 February, coming on as a 65th-minute substitute for the goal scorer Ubaidhulla Hassan in a 2–1 defeat against New Radiant. Despite the bitter start of the season with two losses in the Cup Winners Cup and starting from the bench in the second half in both matches they played against New Radiant SC in the group stage, Rilwan was included in the starting lineup for the quarter final match of the FA Cup against FC Baaz in which they won 8–0 and scored two goals.
Rilwan played his first league match of the season on 25 June against VB Sports Club coming in to play in the second half, coming on for Ahmed Nashid in the 59th-minute where they lost the match 3–2. He played his first full match in the league that season on 19 July in the 3–1 win against Thinadhoo ZC. He was also cautioned in that match. On 30 August, Club Valencia won the 2008 Dhivehi League title and Rilwan came in to play as a substitute in the final match against New Radiant in which they won the match 2–1.
