Former England and Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham will once again team up with Amilla Maldives to host an exclusive football camp at the five-star resort. Taking place from 2-8 April 2025, the camp will see younger guests get the chance to train with the ex-Premier League star during an unforgettable sporting week.
With a professional career spanning nearly 25 years, including a trophy-laden period at Manchester United and 51 caps for the England national team, Sheringham will help inspire younger footballers with a series of coaching sessions. Commencing with an opening ceremony on 2 April, the week-long academy will see children aged four and above polish their footballing skills. The experience culminates on 7 April with a friendly match between guests and the Amilla team, followed by a medal presentation ceremony to honour participants’ achievements.
“We are delighted to welcome Teddy back to Amilla Maldives,” said Narelle McDougall, general manager. “His passion and commitment to inspire young players always makes this a truly special event.”
Located in the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Amilla Maldives is an island resort boasting white sand beaches and one of the Maldives’ best house reefs. The island’s 67 pool villas and residences each offer private pools and are designed with indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Beyond the football academy, youngsters can enjoy The Sultan’s Village kids club, while activities such as kombucha-making, painting, and DJ classes ensure there is plenty to do for guests besides snorkelling and diving at world-class sites including Hanifaru Bay and the resort’s own famous Blue Hole.
