Future Homes Pvt Ltd has filed a case in the Civil Court against Football Association of Maldives (FAM) over an order to vacate a building constructed on land near Maafannu Stadium area allocated to the association for a football stadium.

Future Homes, managed by former footballer Ibrahim Fazeel (Oppo), said that it fulfilled its obligations under an agreement with FAM by constructing the building on the site.

In its lawsuit, the company is seeking a court declaration that FAM's decision not to honour the agreement while the building is in use is unlawful and an order requiring the association to comply with the agreement. The company is also seeking compensation for losses caused by the suspension of work on the site.

According to court documents, FAM agreed to allocate 2,700 square feet of land from the stadium area to Future Homes for 25 years in exchange for clearing waste south of the FAM Turf Ground and constructing changing rooms.

The land was provided rent-free in return for the work, and the company claims it completed the project at a cost of several million rufiyaa.

Future Homes has also requested an interim court order preventing FAM from enforcing its eviction notice or taking further action to remove the company from the premises while the case is pending.

FAM had previously said it would pursue legal action against the company for failing to vacate the land despite repeated requests.

The association also alleged that the two-storey building was constructed without the required approvals from the Housing Ministry and Male' City Council, citing written confirmations from both authorities.

However, Future Homes has denied the allegation. A company official said it has no objection to vacating the land, provided it receives compensation for the costs incurred and any losses suffered if the agreement is terminated.
