Kandima Maldives continues to gain popularity as a holiday hotspot among sports personalities, welcoming the legendary futsal player Ricardinho from June 30th to July 6th. Known for being named the best futsal player in the world six times by Futsal Planet, Ricardinho provided an unforgettable experience for both local youths and resort guests during his week-long stay.
Ricardinho conducted a three-day futsal camp, coaching aspiring players from the nearby Kudahuvadhoo Island and offering Kandima’s guests the rare opportunity to learn from one of the greatest futsal players of all time. The camp allowed participants to engage directly with the legend, gaining valuable skills and inspiration.
Throughout his stay, Ricardinho actively interacted with visitors, playing matches with fans and futsal enthusiasts. This hands-on approach created a community atmosphere where guests could watch, learn, and engage with the futsal star, making their stay at Kandima truly exceptional.
“We are honoured to welcome Ricardinho, the world’s top futsal player, to Kandima,” said Tom van Tuijl, General Manager of Kandima Maldives. “This collaboration aligns perfectly with Kandima’s focus on an active lifestyle. Our commitment to promoting a fitness-oriented way of life in a tropical island setting, and Ricardinho’s visit undoubtedly inspired our guests, especially families with young futsal enthusiasts, to embrace a more sporty lifestyle.”
Kandima Maldives is known for hosting renowned athletes from around the world. In recent years, the resort has welcomed Premier League footballers such as Liverpool FC’s Joe Gomez, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes, and freestyle football champion Lia Lewis.
