At signing ceremony held at Sonee House yesterday, Assistant MarCom Manager Mariyam Abdulla signed on behalf of Sonee while Golden Futsal Association's President, Rilwan Moosa signed on behalf of the Association.

After the signing, Rilwan revealed to One Online that Sonee has been a partner that has always worked closely with the association, adding that it was an honour to have them be the title sponsor once again.

Mariyam also noted that the futsal event is a great one, highlighting that the reason behind taking the title sponsorship once again was the renewed assurance that this year's event will also be as cheerful as the last.

The Golden Futsal Challenge 2022 saw a participation of 91 teams from across Maldives who competed in 177 matches. As such, Golden Futsal Challenge 2023 is expected to receive bigger support from the atolls next year.

Submissions were open for participation until 15 November - submissions were first opened for the island councils and the management of the former teams. Golden Futsal Association's president, Rilwan Moosa told 'One' previously that submissions will be open for all islands after 15 November to sign up additional teams.

The Golden Futsal Challenge has been deemed the most successful format for atoll and island representation in a tournament so far. Golden Futsal Association has also made some changes to the tournament format for next year.

Th. Thimarafushi won the champions of the Golden Futsal Challenge 2022 after beating K. Gaafaru. Thimarafushi also took the cup in 2019 and 2016 as well.
