Local sporting business, Sonee Sports has begun preparations to initiate a campaign to restore the forgotten football spirit in Maldives.

Football was once the most popular sport in Maldives with both men and women finding immense joy and excitement in the sport. From playing at tender ages to school tournaments, youth competitions and competitive leagues held at a nation wide scale, football was, at the time, the most sensational and thrilling sport for all Maldivians.

However, the number of people expressing interest in the sport had begun gradually diminishing.

A research conducted by Sonee Sports recently found that among players of the sport, particularly those who play football as an exercise or hobby, proportionate engagement within the sport had diminished by an alarming 43.5 percent.

These numbers are not simply just statistics but a testament to the significant lifestyle and priority changes of the current age.

A report on consumer sports behavior compiled by the largest global consultant farm offering business management consultancy, McKinsey & Company, indicate that the public want activities that enable engagement in sports, offers less time and facilitates easy participation.

The current culture of the football sport do not claim these features.

Forty percent of people who joined the survey research conducted by Sonee Sports highlighted a lack of free time as a barrier in engaging in the sport while another 17 percent noted a lack in motivation.

The most pressing concerns associated with the forgotten football spirit do not only lie within the low numbers of engagement for health and fitness but also the diminishing economic and cultural significance of the sport.

Moreover, the reduced number of youth gathering to play the sport also does not solely result in a lacking number of football athletes; it also raises concerns that the bond connecting the community together may fade away in time.
