Six athletes from the Revival Sports High Performance Team have departed for Malaysia to begin an intensive two-week overseas training camp as part of preparations for a busy international campaign featuring four BWF-sanctioned tournaments across Asia and Europe.

The squad left Maldives on June 1 and will undergo high-performance training in Malaysia before travelling to the Czech Republic on June 14 to commence their European tour.

The international programme represents one of the most significant overseas campaigns undertaken by Revival Sports, providing athletes with valuable exposure against international competition while contributing to preparations for future regional and international events.

The six-player squad consists of national team players Nibal Ahmed, Hussein Zayan Shaheed Zaki, Hassan Zayan Mohamed, Mohamed Khalaf Imraan, Fathimath Nabaaha Abdul Razzaq (Naba), and Aminath Nabeeha Abdul Razzaq (Naby).

Revival Sports high performance team Coach Nashfan Mohamed also travels with the squad.

Following the training camp in Malaysia, the team will compete in three BWF-sanctioned tournaments across Europe.

The first event will be the Czech International Future Series 2026, scheduled from June 18 to 21 in the Czech Republic. The team will then travel to Italy for the Yonex Italy Open 2026, which will take place from June 24 to 28.

The European campaign will conclude in France at the FZ Forza Future Series Nouvelle-Aquitaine 2026, scheduled from July 2 to 5.
