To boost its football craze in the tiny island, Maldives FA has requested Asian Football Confederation to grant the AFC Vision Asia programme.
The official website of AFC has confirmed the request from Maldives FA, which will be discussed at a Vision Asia Technical Committee meeting next month in Shanghai.
AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam is also expected to invite a Maldives delegation to Kuala Lumpur for discussions. Vision Asia is the project that helps the country with monetary assistance to lift the standard of football at all levels.
Bahrain, Bangladesh, China, India, Iran, Oman, Philippines, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Northern Mariana Islands are doing their project under Vision Asia. Kyrgyzstan and Sri Lanka are also in the offing to join Vision Asia project.
