Male', MALDIVES -
In the opening game of Club Maldives Futsal Tournament, Youth ministry grabbed an unlikely but precious three points by beating defending champions Airports Company.

Youth ministry, lead by FAM’s interim committee secretary and former national team captain Shah Ismail, snatched the win by Thamooh Ahmed’s winning goal. Youth’s keeper Ahmed Ahsan kept them alive in the game and won the man of the match for his outstanding performance.
