Male' Maldives - Valencia captain Assad Abdul Ghanee has been selected as the captain of Maldives national team that will appear in the upcoming SAFF Championship. Assad, who lead Maldives to a remarkable goaless draw against South Korea and a win against Vietnam is without any doubt the most capable player in the squad to take the responsibility of a captain.
In an interview given to Television Maldives last night, National team manager Hiyalee Rasheed confirmed the captaincy and said Imran Mohamed, Maldives' goal keeper, will be the vice captain. This means there is no change in this two posts since World Cup Qualifying.
Maldives had three different captains in last three editions of SAFF championship. Shah Ismail lead Maldives to Dhaka in 2003, Mohamed Ibrahim (Kappi) to Goa in 1999 and Ibrahim Rasheed (Andharey) to Kathmandu in 1997.
