President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has decided to reward the national football and futsal teams for their recent triumphs by giving them MVR 1 million.
The men's National Futsal team won the inaugural SAFF Futsal Championship with a perfect winning record, while the men's national football team won the Super Cup held in Sri Lanka last year.
In an interview with PSM, Sports Minister Abdullah Rafeeu said that the President decided to reward the teams at the meeting he held with the national teams last October.
The Minister said that the bonus will be given to the entire team, including all players and officials. He added that the money will be handed over through the Football Association of the Maldives FAM.
The government is working with associations to improve the quality of players and increase the achievements of local players in the international arena.
