Due to Future Homes Pvt Ltd not presenting themselves to the hearing concerning the vacation of the Maafannu Stadium area plot, the hearing has been cancelled. The company was initially charged by the FAM regarding the vacation of the leased plot in the Maafannu Stadium area.

The company belongs to former football player Ibrahim Fazeel (Oppo), and he is listed as the company's Managing Director. Even though the company filed a case to the Civil Court and was supposed to present themselves to court today along with FAM, an appearance was not made on behalf of the company.

As there was a failure on the part of the side that filed the case not appearing in court, the hearing has been cancelled. While the company informed the court they would not be able to attend today's hearing, the claimant requested an interim order to halt compliance to FAM's order in the absence of the company in court.

The case filed by Future Homes reads that the company completed their obligations under the agreement that was signed with the FAM in 2023. The case also reads a building was also constructed as per the agreement.

The claim requests the Civil Court to determine the FAM is in violation of the agreement as FAM has decided not to honor the agreement while the building was in use, and to order FAM to conduct themselves as per the agreement. It further requests the Civil Court to determine the right to compensation as the work that was being done on the plot was stopped.

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.
