Football Escapes will be at Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort next year, with Premier League legend Rio Ferdinand, to run a 5-day football camp for kids aged 5 to 15 who are visiting the resort.

This football camp is intended to provide participants and their families with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It will take place over five days (Monday to Friday, December 19th – 23rd, 2022), with each daily session lasting two hours and led by Premier League legend Rio Ferdinand and a team of UEFA licensed coaches. Designed for all playing abilities and suitable for boys and girls aged five to fifteen. On completion of the camp, each player will receive their own full personalized Rascal kit, as well as a signed certificate and medal.
