Established on June 1, 2019, with a vision to promote equality, nurture sporting careers, and achieve podium finishes, Revival Sports Club has emerged as one of the most successful and progressive forces in Maldivian badminton. Over the past six years, the club has not only cultivated national-level talent but also elevated Maldivian badminton to new international heights.

Since its inception, Revival Sports Club has consistently delivered strong performances at both national and international levels. Its commitment to athlete development and performance excellence has resulted in a series of historic achievements — many of which are firsts for the Maldives.

​Pioneering International Success

Revival’s foundation was built with the goal of enabling Maldivian players to shine on international stages. In its first year, the club made a significant mark abroad, participating in three international events.

• Zayan Zaki and Fathimath Nabaha won Bronze at the Uganda International Series and made history by securing Gold at the Pakistan International Series — the first-ever BWF-sanctioned gold medal for the Maldives.
• Zayan and Ahmed Thoif earned Bronze in Men’s Doubles at the Ghana International Series.

In 2023, Revival athletes represented the Maldives at the Indian Ocean Island Games (IOIG) in Madagascar. The trio of Zayan, Thoif, and Rishwan Shiyam won Silver in the Team Event, while Zayan and Nabaha claimed Bronze in Mixed Doubles in the Open Category.

​A Historic Year: 2024

The year 2024 proved to be a watershed moment for Revival on the global stage. The club competed in three international tournaments, bringing home a record-breaking nine medals:

• At the Zambia International:
  • Gold in Women’s Doubles: Nabaha and Aiminath Nabeeha
