Minister of Youth and Sports, Mohamed Maleeh Jamaal has said that the two stadiums that are proposed to host the AFC Challenge Cup matches will be completed by the end of March 2014.
Minister Maleeh said that they are very confident about hosting AFC Challenge Cup in Maldives and they will start the construction work during the first week of January 2014.
“The upgrading work of the National stadium and the Zone Stadium in the Addu City will start in the first week of January.” “We are confident that we will have the chance to host the Challenge Cup and we are ready for that.”
Minister Maleeh also said that as planned Maldives will host the AFC Challenge Cup draw ceremony in mid February 2014.
A high profile AFC delegation visited last week to Maldives to inspect the progress of the works for the AFC Challenge Cup, which is scheduled to start in May 19th next year.
Now it is very clear tht Maldives will lose the chance to host the tournament.. They didnt even start the work till now. " We are confident that we will have the chance to host the Challenge Cup and we are ready for that.” this statement itself is a clear indication tht they dont have any hope
“We are confident that we can start the renovation work before the deadline. We will sit with the ministry to finalize everything and hope that we can start the work in the first week of December.” Minister of Youth and Sports, Mohamed Maleeh Jamaal has said this on November. :P .
so actually they did not start on December 15 as required by AFC but will start in Jan now..since they look confident of hosing draw ceremony in Feb it seems AFC is going to grant it to them
