The Maldives Olympic Committee's Executive Committee unanimously decided to appoint Ali Rasheed as the head of the Maldives contingent.
Table Tennis Association of Maldives (TTAM) President Ali Rasheed has been appointed as Maldives' Chef de Mission for the Olympic Games.
The Maldives Olympic Committee's Executive Committee unanimously decided to appoint Ali Rasheed as the head of the Maldives contingent after Fathimath Dheema Ali became the first Maldivian athlete to qualify for the Olympic Games by winning a qualifying match.
The Olympic Committee announced Ali's appointment and handed him the official letter yesterday.
Ali's visit to France as Chef de Mission will be his second visit to the country in an official sporting capacity. Previously, he visited France to initiate Dheema's training as part of an Olympics scholarship.
At the Olympics, Maldivian athletes will compete in four sporting categories; table tennis, badminton, athletics, and swimming. Fathimath Nabaha Abdul Razzaq will compete in badminton, and Ibadulla Adam will compete in athletics. The athletes for swimming have not yet been determined.
