Holiday Cup 2026 to Make Historic Debut in Naivadoo This December

The Haa Dhaalu Naivadoo Trainers Sports Club has opened registrations for the 'Holiday Cup 2026 - Naivadoo Edition', a historic tournament to be held for the first time in Naivadoo following two successful editions in Malé. The tournament, scheduled to begin on December 19, 2026, will feature three age groups: under-17, under-13, and under-8. The registration deadline is November 20, 2026, with teams required to sign up via a special online form. According to the club, the event was organized at the request of many island residents and sports enthusiasts, aiming to bring together families of Naivadoo from various areas, foster sportsmanship, and strengthen community bonds. All preparations for the third edition are underway. Naivadoo Edition Manager Mohamed Aslam expressed hope that the local community would show twice the enthusiasm seen in previous Malé tournaments. 'In previous years, we have seen that this is not just a tournament; it is a big Eid celebrated by all the people,' Aslam told Tiladhuun. He noted that a successful event in Naivadoo could lead to two annual tournaments—one in Naivadoo and one in the Greater Malé area—but warned that if local enthusiasm wanes, future editions would be held only in the Greater Malé region. 'Coffee & Moo' is the title sponsor for the 2026 edition. Sponsorship opportunities are available through the club's official account (7730000401181). The club has called on teams, businesses, and well-wishers to support and participate in making the tournament an exciting sports festival.
