The sports minister said futsal grounds established by the government across the Greater Malé region are used extensively by young people throughout the day. He said maintaining these facilities in a safe and suitable condition remains a government priority.
He also said the refurbished Maafannu Futsal Ground is now available for use by residents of the district, adding that its long-term upkeep depends on responsible use by the public.
The Maafannu Futsal Ground was closed for renovation last year, with construction work beginning in December. The upgraded facility was officially handed over to the Road Development Corporation on 4 July.
