The agreement outlines plans for training sports associations and institutions from both nations, fostering closer ties through reciprocal visits by sports teams, and promoting direct communication between clubs.

In addition to these initiatives, the Maldives and Saudi Arabia will collaborate on investments in the sports industry and exchange documentation, training equipment, and expertise related to sports.
This agreement builds on Saudi Arabia’s previous support for the Maldives’ sports development, which has included facilitating training camps for national teams and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
