As I see it, futsal or rather football five aside is the in thing in Male. Everyone will be crazy to play or watch others play. I know that there are also many organisers who like to organise either for their own pleasure, monetery gain or to fill the youngsters desire. FUTSAL can be a business too. Futsal, the way it it is played can raise the skill of the players. Brazilian also started in the condition of the field that we have. Maybe one day, insyaAllah Maldivian will be the top in the Futsal Competition in AFC at least.
The Ministry concerned should look into the making of pitches (open-aired would also be ok) to fulfill this need. Artificial turf or other recommended surface should be considered instead of the sandy pitch. The present area next to the artificial turf pitch seems appropriate.
The Football Association of Maldives (FAM) will also monitor and see that all the competitions organised this year onward will conform with FIFA Laws of the game and guidelines. This will raise the standards of the competitions and also the game. This will also open the opportunity to our referees to be FIFA Futsal Referees too.
In conjunction to that a Futsal Referees Course will also be held in February 2009 to have a pool of referees qualified to officiate in Futsal games. All those interested to be FUTSAL referees can attend the course. Forms for registration wil be out soon. This course will be held yearly.
