President Dr Mohamed Muizzu visited the AXA Training Centre in Liverpool to explore ways to enhance football development in the Maldives and create opportunities for aspiring Maldivian footballers.

He received a guided tour and observed best practices in football training and coaching, with the goal of integrating high-performance methodologies into the Maldivian football framework.

The visit coincides with a broader tourism promotion campaign spearheaded by the Maldives Marketing & Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) in collaboration with Liverpool Football Club (LFC)

Announced on March 13, 2025, the partnership designates the Maldives as the "Official Tourist Destination Partner" of Liverpool FC. The three-and-a-half-year co-branded initiative, launched under the Visit Maldives banner, is backed by an estimated USD 2.5 million investment and is expected to attract more than 100,000 additional tourists annually, generating approximately USD 200 million in revenue.

In addition to football-related engagements, President Dr Muizzu’s itinerary includes meetings with Maldivian students in the United Kingdom and official visits to Leeds University and Leeds Town Hall.
