Skate Maldives has marked a significant milestone by achieving full Affiliate Member status with World Skate in 2024, just one year after being recognized as a Provisional Affiliate Member. This achievement makes Skate Maldives the official governing body for all skating-related sports in the country.
The development of skating in the Maldives has been supported through a strong partnership with Dhiraagu. Mohamed Mirshan Hassan, Director of Brand and Marketing Communications at Dhiraagu, expressed excitement about continuing the collaboration: “We are delighted to support the development of young skaters in the country. This partnership reflects our commitment to youth development, promoting active sports, and helping local talent shine on both national and international stages.”
Skate Maldives President, Mohamed Hanim, also praised the collaboration, noting that Dhiraagu’s role as a development partner has been instrumental in the organization’s growth. The partnership has supported the organization of national and international competitions, further advancing the sport within the country.
As the official national association for skating, Skate Maldives has been working to provide local skaters with the opportunities and resources needed to excel. With Dhiraagu’s continued support, the future of skating in the Maldives looks brighter than ever, offering young athletes the chance to pursue their passion and compete at the highest level.
