President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, on Monday, appealed to popular sports figures to use their influential role to create awareness and steer the general public towards adopting preventive measures against Covid-19. He made the statement at a meeting held with the representatives of the first division football clubs at the President’s Office on 15th February 2021.


Speaking at the meeting, the President said that the sports community, especially influencers and popular athletes, must come out as model citizens and advocate for preventive measures such as social distancing, vaccination and wearing masks.


Representatives from the clubs shared collective views regarding resuming the annual football season and discussed avenues of resolving other pertinent issues.
