Futsal 2011

One of the most ironic and the most cheered futsal tournament ever organised in the Maldives were by none other than Club Maldives. I can clearly say they have made it, help and brought people together, made friendship everywhere. CLUB MALDIVES is a non-governmental organisation born before their registration. Although they were registered during 2005, they had many activities involved before 2005.

The main objective of the said NGO’s is to promote “Friendship Everywhere” by organising, hosting various sports and social activities among the people, also participating and supporting such activities. This is a simple drive I found from their website.  

Although it was mentioned as it is, but I rather include some of the other benefits that helps to build a positive momentum for the participants and their colleagues. They are building a “Sports Culture” among us, by building a sports culture will improve competitive performance, and prevent violence and other illegitimate behaviour.  Also this will help to create a society in which everyone shares the joy and the excitement of sports and supporting sports.

FUTSAL, The concept as a physical activity played on a narrow field by brave individuals is comparatively challenging. In the past, this sport was a mass participation activity from government / company’s employees connected with joy and get together among them.  

Every year this activity is organised by partner groups, the main reason is to host one of the best futsal tournaments in the Maldives. This year it was “NESTLE MILO CLUB MALDIVES CUP 2011”.

One of the Executive Committee members for the Club Maldives, Mr. Moosa Haleem G. Aseyna, mentioned that “We are thrilled to have an opportunity to build the Futsal program and help establish the athletic culture among government and company’s employees, specially bringing and building a women’s futsal team among them, this will be a great challenge and one that I’m very much looking forward to.” 

The main supporter and advisor for Club Maldives and its activities,  Mr. Ismail Latheef (G.K) highlighted that: - 'Sport is not a subject of life and loss. It is a lot more important than that'.

Mr. G.K’s words stress that many aspects of our public well being cannot be fulfilled in private life or in sacraments of consumption. At the same time, sport is an edition of 'real life'. I agreed.
