Revival Sports have strengthened their long-term commitment to developing Maldivian badminton talent with the signing of promising youngster Ibrahim Nashith Hamdi from Naifaru Badminton Academy on a full-time contract.

The 17-year-old joins the club after establishing himself as one of the country’s brightest emerging players. Nashith earned a place in the Maldives Men’s National Badminton Team at just 16 years of age, highlighting his rapid rise through the national ranks.

He also represented the Maldives at the Bahrain 2025 Asian Youth Games as a member of the national junior team, gaining valuable international experience against some of Asia’s top young badminton players.

At Revival Sports, Nashith will become part of the club’s Under-23 High Performance Squad, where he will train alongside the country’s leading players under the club’s elite development programme.

The move forms part of Revival Sports’ ongoing vision of identifying and nurturing the next generation of Maldivian badminton athletes by providing a professional training environment and a clear pathway to international competition.

Speaking on the signing, Revival Sports reaffirmed its commitment to youth development.

“We are committed to giving talented young athletes the opportunity to train, grow and pursue their dream of representing the Maldives on the international stage. We look forward to supporting our athletes every step of their journey.”

Nashith’s arrival further reinforces Revival Sports’ reputation as one of the Maldives’ leading badminton development clubs. The signing reflects the club’s continued commitment to investing in talented young athletes capable of competing at the highest level while contributing to the long-term success of Maldivian badminton. It also strengthens Revival Sports’ preparations and long-term vision ahead of the 2027 Indian Ocean Island Games (IOIG), where the club aims to play a significant role in the Maldives’ campaign.
