What We Are About

Maattey Sports was founded to use football as a catalyst for youth development, community engagement, and positive social change in the Maldives. Starting with a grassroots academy in Hdh. Kulhudhuffushi in 2018 and formally registered as a sports club in 2019, Maattey Sports has been committed to nurturing young talent, promoting community values, and strengthening social cohesion through sport.

In 2024, Maattey Sports expanded its services to Laamu Fonadhoo, establishing a second academy and extending its grassroots outreach efforts. Through initiatives like the annual Grassroots Football Festival, technical support to schools, and community awareness programs, Maattey Sports has demonstrated that sports can bridge divides, enrich communities, and foster resilience.

Looking ahead, Maattey Sports is working to replicate its model across more atolls, using sport as a sustainable tool to strengthen communities throughout the Maldives.

At the national and regional level, Maattey Sports has participated in various junior and senior-level competitions in Athletics, football, futsal, and handball, by providing a platform for the young generation to showcase their sporting talent and leadership skills.
