While the Gold Cup by Ninety Plus is ready to commence, Football Association of Maldives (FAM) has organized the FAM Youth League to be held during the same time.
However, Sports Ministry has allocated the Galolhu National Stadium for the Gold Cup, which will feature teams from islands and cities countrywide.
FAM published the schedule of their Youth League before the competing teams had even been finalized, with the league scheduled to start on November 20, the same day that the Gold Cup is slated to commence.
FAM Youth League will be held at Henveiru Stadium, and will only be transferred to Galolhu Stadium after the Gold Cup is concluded.
A senior official of FAM's Competition Department has voiced concerns about Ninety Plus organizing the Gold Cup, which will be livestreamed on State TV, without the participation of FAM.
The Gold Cup, meanwhile, will have no participation from FAM referees of match officials. Instead, Ninety Plus has decided to bring officials from abroad.
