As a healthy young generation is the primary foundation for a nation’s social and economic development, the government is undertaking significant efforts to advance the sports sector in the Maldives. In this regard, alongside developing infrastructure such as sports courts and gyms across the islands, programs are being conducted to train technical personnel, including coaches and referees. Furthermore, the “Arutha” program has been introduced to provide financial assistance and training to talented athletes, while special emphasis is also being placed on human resource development in essential modern fields such as sports medicine and physiotherapy. These initiatives serve as an invaluable foundation for the nation’s future, aimed at building a healthy and skilled generation.
