Football In Paradise: Michael Owen Is Hosting A Soccer Camp In The Maldives

The once-in-a-lifetime experience takes place this October.

Families heading to the Maldives this October are in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From 20–23 October 2025, Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort will host an exclusive kids’ football camp led by none other than Michael Owen, the legendary striker who played for Liverpool, Real Madrid, and England, and won the Ballon d’Or in 2001.

The camp is complimentary for children aged 15 and under staying at the resort during these dates. Young footballers will enjoy fun, high-energy training sessions on the resort’s professional-grade pitch, with the experience culminating in a grand finale on 24 October, where participants will receive medals and certificates from Owen himself.

“Football has given me so much, and I’m excited to share my passion with the next generation in one of the world’s most beautiful destinations,” says Owen. ““Whether they’re taking their first steps on the pitch or refining their skills, this camp is all about fun, teamwork, and learning in one of the world’s most beautiful destinations.”

Perfect for families looking for an active getaway, Avani+ Fares Maldives offers more than just football. Kids can enjoy immersive activities at AvaniKids, teens can chill at the Teens Club, and little ones can try cooking and dine independently at the Petit Bistro by AvaniKids.

Parents aren’t left out—while the kids play, adults can explore the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, try water sports like jet-skiing or e-surfing, or unwind with yoga and wellness experiences at AvaniSpa. Ready to score the ultimate family holiday? Visit Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort this October and let your kids train with a football legend in paradise.
