The Unity Foundation has proudly announced the organization of a significant football tournament for schools located in the southern four atolls of the Maldives. This highly anticipated event will feature two competitive age categories: Under 14 and Under 16.

A total of 16 schools from these atolls have confirmed their participation, registering an impressive 31 teams. This substantial involvement will make the tournament the largest school football event ever held in the region, marking a milestone in the development of youth sports in these atolls.

The tournament is scheduled to commence on October 7th, 2024, immediately following the start of the second semester, and will continue through the end of the month. This timing ensures that students can fully engage in both their academic and athletic pursuits.

The primary objectives of the tournament are to cultivate a strong sense of sportsmanship and healthy competition among young athletes, while also providing an invaluable opportunity to enhance their football skills. The Unity Foundation is committed to fostering a positive environment where adolescents can grow not only as players but also as individuals, learning important life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.
