Our Story

The Association For Dhidhdhoo Sports was founded in 2018 by a group of passionate sports enthusiasts who recognized the need for organized sports activities in our beautiful island community. What started as informal football matches on the beach has grown into a comprehensive sports organization serving over 1,200 young people and adults.

Our journey began when local youth had limited access to structured sports programs. Today, we proudly offer multiple sports disciplines, training programs, and community events that bring people together through the universal language of sports. We believe that every person, regardless of age, gender, or skill level, deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of sports.
