Moreover, badminton is the N°1 racket sport in Maldives, with and estimated total number of 22,524 players, among which 12,517 players are registered in a badminton club or association.

Moosa Nashid, President of BAM: “It’s an honor and privilege to be sponsored by a renowned international bank such as MCB. With this partnership, we have been able to expose our players in the international arena where we have witnessed podium results and have made history in badminton for Maldives. On behalf of the Badminton Association of Maldives and our players, I thank the management of MCB Maldives for giving us the opportunity of working hand in hand for the development of badminton in our nation.”

Désiré Léo, Managing Director - MCB Maldives: “The players’ ambition, passion, energy and determination have proudly enabled Maldives’ colours to reach new heights. Through this year’s renewed collaboration, MCB wishes to encourage Maldivians to practice this sport, which conveys noble values such as responsibility, team spirit, integrity and hard work. MCB Group embodies the same values since its creation in Mauritius in 1838, and then, with its presence in Maldives since 2008.”
