A budget of MVR 63 million has been approved for the Maldives Olympic Committee (MOC), with the government being the primary sponsor.
MOC Secretary General Ahmed Thamooh Saeed confirmed that the government would support various games and projects under this budget.
A significant portion of the budget, passed last night at Meerumaa, will be allocated to the games Maldives is set to participate this year.
The biggest event is the South Asian Games, which will be held in Pakistan. However, the exact date for the games has yet to be announced, as they have been postponed multiple times.
If the games are not held this year, the opportunity for Pakistan to host them may be lost, according to media reports.
